Restoration Foreword: All I can say is that this is almost embarrassing to look at. It also comes off as ironic. My old nickname was "The Avardancer" and it was essentially a demon name based off of the book The Screwtape Letters. The idea was that it was a play on the word avarice. The following list is full of spelling errors and even a numbering error. But I still love it. A lot of these may go over some people's heads. To help out, here are a few hints: Blood Lust Software made NESticle, the first good NES emulator. The creator of the Game Boy died when he stepped out of his car after a car accident and was mowed down in a hit and run. There are also references to Japan only products, as well as old advertisement slogans. Please enjoy it!
