	Music Forum in Fitchburg (same shopping center as Rich's) rents
	NES games for $2 a night. The catch is, you have to be a member.
	Sorry, I can't remember how much the membership costs. They've got
	20 to 25 games available.

	I believe that the Music Forum in Gradner also rents, but I haven't
	been there.

    Re .0 (3.23 originally):
    
    Video Library says they do not rent out games.  Are you sure it was
    Video Library?  Which location?

    re: .1
    
    Membership at Music Forum is about $50 for a lifetime membership.
    They're having this promo right now.  You leave a deposit of $50
    for a trial period of 90 days.  If at the end of ninety days you
    like the membership, then you are a lifetime member and the rate
    goes down every year.
    
    Sorry, but this is about all I can remember of it!

    re .2:
    
    The Video Librarys in Hooksett, NH, Manchester, NH and Goffstown,
    NH all rent games and NESs.   I've rented from the ones in Hooksett
    and Manchester, but I've called the one in Goffstown to see what
    they had in for rent so I know they also rent.
    
    Which one did you call???

    LaMare (sp) of Westboro MA advertises NINTENDO game rentals.
    The current ad reads $5 for two nights after joining the club for
    $30. They are closed all day on Saturdays.
    

    Action Video Service has game rental. Same price as movies - 1.25
    Mon to Wed, and $ 2.5 Thur to Sun.  I've been there 3 times and
    never have one available. guest game rental is VERY popular.

  Again, a simple look at the dirctory would have shown that there
    there was this TOPIC already set aside for discussing Game/Video
    rentals.
    
    P.S  Could you also please not use UPPER CASE all the time, it just
    makes it hard on the eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I FOUND A VIDEO STORE ON MAIN ST. IN MARLBORO, MASS. THAT IS RENTING
    NINTENDO GAMES... THEY HAVE A GOOD SELECTION... I THOUGHT IT WAS
    EXPENSIVE $4 PER DAY BUT WHEN YOU UNSURE OF A PARTICULAR GAME, IT
    ALMOST SEEMS WORTH IT TO RENT IT FIRST... WHAT A IDEA...

Video Encounters in Marlboro, MA offers Nintendo game rentals. When they 
first started with some of the older games they were $1.00 for 3 days, but 
since they have started adding the latest releases the price has changed.

	New releases - $2.00/day except Saturday which includes Sunday
	               for the first 30 days

	Older Releases - $1.00 for 3 days, cartridges in store for
                         30 days or greater.

I believe you have to be a member of the Video club for these rates, but 
not sure. Yearly video membership is $30.00.

    	Renting is great!
    
    	I rented the game "Karate Kid", and won it! That saved me a good
    $30!
    
    	More and more places are renting, and they seem to have the newest
    games. Renting is a good way to tell the Greats from the not so
    greats...
    		
    				BUT THEY ARE NEVER AVAILABLE!!!

    For you people in the Nashua/Hudson area, I saw on the sign in front
    of the Video rental place on the corner of 102 and 111 by the north
    bridge ( I don't remember the name of the place) that they now rent
    Nintendo games.  It might be worth a call.

        in Wilmington, Ma. offers free membership! Game rentals 1.50 
        a night. Wide assortment of games too. Saved me from actually
        buying Castlevania (don't like the Konami games) and Wizards
        and Warriors.

    Longs Drugs in Colorado Springs rents games for $2.00 for the first
    day and $1.00 each day after. They have a pretty good selection,
    but they rent quickly.
    
    Has anybody found other places that rent in the Springs (especially
    on the westside of town...)?

    	For those of us in the backwoods of Central MA, there's 
    	a little place in Phillipston, MA called "Woodside Variety"
    	which rents a very limited supply of Nintendo games for
    	only $1.50 a night, or $5.00 for a week!!
    
    	All you need is a valid license.  They've asked my brother
    	if he had any games he wanted to sell to them...now I'm
    	not saying they'll do that for everyone (he goes in there
    	just about every day on his way to work), but it may be
    	worth a shot if you're willing to give up some games for
    	someone else's profit.

	Where can I rent Nintendo games in the Nashua N.H. area?

	Thanks
	Steve

    In Nashua, you can rent games at Main Dunstable Video.
    
    
    
    
    Don

    I rent mine at the VideoMat.  They have stores in So. Nashua (next
    to Grossmans) and on Amherst St. (next to Dick Kinney Saab)
    
    MJR
    

American Video in Westford MA rents games.  They have a large number of
games but they do go fast on weekends.  The fee is $2 per day.  I don't
think there is a membership fee.

Location: east on 110 (toward Chelmsford) from the intersection of Boston
Road and Rt 110.  There's a small mall on the left with a Cumberland
Farms.  American Video is in the right half of the line of stores.  Very
convenient to King Street and Westford facility people.

PS. You can drop returns thru their mail slot so you can return things on
the way to work.

    The Zayres Store on 101A rents for 1.79/day.  I'm sure their store
    at the Royal Ridge Mall must, too.  You have to be a Paralax Video
    member.  Membership was free when I signed up 6 months ago. 
    

    This probably won't help you folks down south, but for ASO residents,
    there are a few places that I know of to rent cartridges.
    
    	VIDEO TYME            Kennedy Memorial Drive, Oakland ME   $3.00 a pop
    	AINSLE'S MARKET       Civic Center Drive  Belgrade ME      $2.50
        SOUNDS EASY VIDEO     RT 202 in Winthrop                   ???
        COMPLETE ELECTRONICS  Bay Street Winslow ME                $1.50

	For Milrats, there is a place on Nason Street called the
	Movie House which has a tremendous selection of Nintendo
	cartridges, renting them at $2.50/night for members.  I 
	don't believe they take nonmembers; however, a life-time
	membership to the place (rents video tapes and equipement,
	including NES equipment) is only a $1.

	They also sell NES equipment, including cartridges (a pretty
	good selection).  Anything that they don't have, they can
	order for you.  That is how I got Super Mario Brothers II
	and Pacman.

    If you live in Leominster/Fitchburg area, (or are within a few minute
    drive to the Junction of Rte 12/Rt2 at the Fitchburg/Leomisnter line
    visit empire video sometime.
    
    	I've never seen such a selection of Nintendo games available
    for rent.
    
    The have literaly *hundreds* of games, and two to 5 copies of almost
    everyone.
    
    Worth a trip for sure.

    
    Dial Drug and Video in Derry NH rents Nintendo games for $.99 a
    day. They don't have every game, but their selection is decent.

     I, myself called up empire video a  couple of nights ago and wanted
    to rent paperboy and they did'nt have it. Called up Music Forum
    and they had 3 copies of it!!! Only prob. was because of popularity
    they were $2 a night and $10 for the wk. and that was for members!!
    But do agree outside of that they do have probably the largest
    selection of games around. The only problem is if you wanted to
    rent a game for the week it would cost you more than if you went
    to another video store (if you were a member that is). Where I go
    they only charge $5 wk.  (Music Forum, Video Paradise/Leom.,Fitch
    area)
    
      my 2 cents worth...

    If your looking for a good place to rent Nintendo Video games, try the 
    Harbor Video Store in the Townsend Shopping Center. Rt 119 across from
    the North Middlesex Regional High School, Townsend, Ma.. 
    
    This store just opened last month, He has the widest section of Nintendo
    games I have seen. He has Buyou Billy and Ninja Turtles plus many
    other games I have not seen or heard of. 
    
    They charge $2.50 for 2 days, no membership fees. 
                             
    They even have a Nintendo Deck set-up so you can preview the games before
    you rent them. My only problem is tring to get the kids off the
    Nintendo when they go there.
    
    The owners are great, He has developed a network of other stores
    and can get hard to find games on special request. Prices depend
    upon availability. He got me the Tengen Tetris game last week for
    34.95

    I just called Video Signals in Stow, Mass.:
    
    	If you rent from them -3 video's or NINTENDO games 
    	[ can be mixed ] on Friday [anytime] you don't have
    	to return them until Monday before 6:30 p.m..
    	So for 6 bucks, you rent them for 4 days depending on 
    	when you pick them up.
    
    	Also if a member, when you spent 25.00 [ can be 3
    	or more rentals ] you get to rent video/nintendo 
    	game for "FREE" for 1 night.
    	There phone number is: 897-3411 for more info..

    I think that Main Dunstable Video does - there's about 3-4 stores in
    Nashua.  Give them a call at 883-6911.
