Uhh....no, I'd have to buy another one! If you both have the same

Here is some other rearrangements

  i forgot the other ones...
My 3 games for super nintendo have done quite well for some time.  Even tho
Super R-Type is extremely difficult I have been able to beat it on Normal
difficulty!  But Hard is truly hard!
Here are some cheats for Super R-Type I think you will like!
Stage select = Hold R while pressing UP 9 times at title.
               Then Pause game and hold R+A+Select for stage select
               Stage select appears in score box. press up or down to select
               and start to start.                00-07 stages at difficuty
you are at.
               10-17 stages at next highest difficulty
               Try stage 17 at hard to get to last level at PRO difficulty!
Weapons select = Down,R,Right,Down,Right,Right,Down,Right,Down,Down at title.
                 Pause game and push
R,Right,Down,Y,Down,Right,Down,Left,Right,Down,Right,Right + two more buttons
Use these as your next two buttons
For a laser (must enter laser first)
  A = Ring laser
  B = Ground laser
  X = Reflect laser
  Y = Spread laser
  R = Shooting gun laser
Then select a bomb
  A = Homing
  X = Ground
Finally unpause and enjoy! You also get 2 extra shield pods with the code.
P.S. Use the shotting gun laser on all the bosses to whip thier *** quick.
Im still waiting for my movie rental place to get R-Type III (I want it
BAD!!!!!!!!!!)  If its really good (tell me) and not as hard I'll buy it
instead.  It only has a stage select cheat :(.  Ill give it to you in mynext
letter. Thanks for your feedback!

assistant: I hate to stoop to the level of the SHITHEADS in this echo, but...
Once, an asshole named Michael Benge became moderator of the Arcade
echo.  When anyone said [typed] anything that didn't say arcade once per
sentence, or who didn't cuss in every message, he would reply saying
that they were off-topic.  He decided to play God, which made everyone
hate him.  Here lately (this last month), I have not seen one message
from him.  Since he has dissapeared, only 6 of 33 messages (today) were
on arcade games.  None of yesterday's 13 messages discussed arcade
games.  I have read this echo for over a year to get info on arcade
games, but in that year, fewer and fewer discussions of arcade games
have been written.  I am not here to read a Flame conference (Of which,
I officially dub this conference the "Fucking Arcade Off-Topic Flame"
Conference).  If I wanted to read Flames, I would read the "Flame"
Conference.  Therefore, since I have gotten no information (useful
information) on arcade games in the last month, I have decided (wisely)
to let all you Shitheads out there continue to bite each other's asses
off, and I will simply drop this conference for good.  Do not expect me
to read any of your flames anymore, even to me--I don't read messages
online, and none of the messages from this conference will be
downloaded.  So long, Shitheads.................................
