In the vain of the current contest thread going on about one game, I thought I would ask about another one. I first asked about this over six months ago but never got a response.

Does anyone remember the contest that was done when Castlevania III first came out in October 1990? There was a grand prize of going to Translvania for a week, and seeing Dracula's Castle among other things over there. I think secondary prizes included cash gifts and game merchandise.

All of the boxes that was made with that first run had the big bright red sticker on the front annoucing the contest, and details and a entry form on the last page of the manual. It was hard to miss.

I entered, but, of course, never won anything. But the kicker was that I also followed Konami's instructions to get a list of the winners -- and never got THAT either. Makes me wonder if the contest was quietly canceled for some reason.

I've tried e-mailing Konami about this, but the response I got indicated that they did'nt know and would have to check their records and get back to me. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

So, does anyone know anything?
