Want to talk OMG RAR3Z SNES game?

Yeah read about this a couple years back. Was a pretty cool find.

Very cool, I'd love that light gun.

My friend was an instructor in the Army and I vaguely recall him telling me about this years ago. We were both video game fiends BITD...

...which reminds me, I have to get back in touch with him.

These were distributed to Active and Guard/Reserve units. I remember playing on one at 4am at The University of Kentucky ROTC from the Kentucky Guard who set one up with their static display on capmus (pulling security).  Like anything in the army property accountability system, these sets most likely wound up at local post DRMO turn-in sites where most were likely destroyed.  Sometimes law enforcement can get military surplus from DRMO, but most likely most sets were destroyed.

Their DRMO site always boggles my mind. While in Iraq I was able to fully stock a self made aid station in our company area based off a DRMO site.

It's also how I ended up keeping my helmet from Iraq. I squired a second one and turned in the extra when I ETSd

DRMO is awesome.  As a PBO it was always great to visit and find items BN needed.  In 2012 during the closure Kuwait was a gold mine.  All the TV's and other TOC items went fast. 

Too bad they shred most stuff and it would amaze most people of government spending.

LOL.  Being in the DoD world and seeing what the Gov spends on stuff like this I don't want to know how much it was to produce this.  That's awesome t o hear how accurate it was though.

[waynedoodle]

The system was accurate.  I was shooting competative rifle at the time so my brother and I was shooting standing freehand.  The beam hits we use now are just too time consuming for PMI setup.  NCOs hate beamhit.  I bet this Millinial generation gamers would get a kick out of training on something like this system.

I actually played this myself at the Boyscouts National Jamboree.  So long ago, I can't even remember how old I was or what year lol. 

GTFO - I also played this at the Boy Scout national jamboree, haha. Think I was...12 at the time, or so? you?

[NightWolve]

I read about those Jamborees in Boys' Life Magazine.

Sadly, the magazine never discussed anything concerning video games.

Fellow scouter here (Eagle Scout) as well, I loved reading the boys life magazine when I was younger as it had a lot of neat stuff to read about.  Also the ads in the back were always full of those crazy ones like "build your own flying machine for $5!" and the like.

Yeah, I still remember an ad for "Grit"....a publication I have never heard of. Basically, young kids were supposed to solicit subscriptions for Grit (and possibly deliver them, too, like a paperboy?)

I have always wondered about that ad.
