| In Marlboro, there is a place on Main St (the Marlboro Smoke Shop).
They rent videos and also rent Nintendo cartridges for $1 per night
I think. It's located before you get to Chin's Garden on the right
hand side if you are travelling towards Sudbury.

| Oooh, that sounds pretty crafty. I would guess that renting a game
is different from renting something like a movie... A movie, you
see it once, and you bring it back the next day. But if you rent
a game, if you happen to get hooked on it, you might be lured into
renting it a few nights.

| Actually I rent them to see if they are worth the selling price.
At .99 a night its a small price to pay to avoid what could possibly
be a very expensive (read:purchased) dud. So far I have rented Jaws
and Load Runner. Both are cute games, but compared to others definitely
not worth the price they want to purchase them. I guess it also
serves to ease my curiosity as to what the games are all about, and
to see if the games have anything different about them. I highly
recommend renting before purchase. At $35.00 to $50.00 per game
you want to make sure that what you get is worth the money!

| We live in Billerica and the drug store (Drug Mart) in the Billerica
Mall now rents nintendo cartridges. Don't know if that is close
enough for you, but at least it's in the area. They also sell cartridges.

| We find that most Video Rental places also have Nintendo Cartriges
for rent. Including Video Excellence in Southboro, Movies and More
in Marlboro. But the real thing is in Hopkinton. This is the guy
that has cartriges and loans them out to Video Rental Stores. He
is like "the source". He also has one more "FEATURE" he will Trade
a game with you. So if you have a game you are tired of, he may
trade with you if they are the same price, or let you pay the price
difference.
The bad news is my son can't remember the name and my wife is not
home. So consider this a clue, the rest is just like playing a game.
Go find him if you can.
(Spoiler to be added some future day if you all don't find it first)

| 115.9 | Steve in Hopkinton MA *is* the source! | CRUISE::JBONIN | | Mon Mar 27 1989 14:34 | 8 |
| re: .8
The "source" in Hopkinton is Steve, forgot his last name, but he
*is* the place to get Nintendo, new, used, trade. He is also the
"source" for movies. Many video stores get there tapes from Steve
rather than go to eve STAR VIDEO which is also in Hopkinton.
