In This Month's NAVA: Happy Birthday, Nintendo 64! Though it originally launched in Japan in June of 1996, on September 29th 1996 across the USA, legions of gamers plugged a Nintendo 64 into their televisions for the first time. What were they playing? The only launch titles were Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64. In November, Wave Race 64 was released and in December, Mario Kart 64 joined the library. It was a slow start but what great games! To celebrate the occasion we will have several Nintendo 64 systems set up with lots of games to choose from. Challenge a stranger!

Arcade Challenge: To further celebrate this momentous anniversary, we're going to host the arcade game challenge on the N64 as well! Today's challenge is HYDRO THUNDER. Can you put up the best time? Put up the best score on this game by 9pm and win a nifty $20 gift certificate. Arcade challenge games are set to FREE PLAY all day, but please remember to let everyone get a shot. If you get the high score, move on, and no hogging the game! Also if you have won last month’s arcade challenge you are not eligible to win this month’s challenge.

6PM Tournament: When was the last time we held a SUPER SMASH BROS event in Clifton? The time is now to destroy your weak competition in the N64 version of the game! Sign-ups begin at 3pm, the tournament starts after 6pm in this first-come, first-served and as always at NAVA, FREE-to-join tournament. Winners receive a $20 gift certificate!

Remember, you can bring a box or two of your trade goodies. We'll help you administer sales and get you set up somewhere in the store to sell your goods, there is no charge for this perk, NAVA is the time for trading!
