Rules: 

email [email protected] with 'caption contest' as the subject line. Include your username and your caption(s) in quotes.

There are no limits on the amount of captions, but please just send them all in one email.

You can swear, but this is more about using a scalpel of wit than a club of curse-words. No limit on captions, but put your best foot forward (try to be as creative as possible).

You will get a canned response confirming receipt of yr email.

This will close July 15th to give us time to select and the editor time to arrange!

description: this is from the classic (and bestest) golf game for NES - NES Open. this is the screen where you take yr winnings to DK, who, for some reason, works in a casino-style bank cage. 


These may change as we fine-tune the contest, so please read them before submitting!

The best captions will be shown in this month's eZine! Have fun!

Are we allowed to ask what game this is from? (And should I be embarassed?) The last one was blatantly obvious to me, but this one doesn't jump out at me. And yes, I know I've missed a ton of classics over the years...

^ I was thinking the same. I have no idea what kind of venue is pictured, making it impossible to come up with something witty.

I also don't know the game, but it looks like mario is dressed as a horse jockey, and the monkey (DK?) is taking bets. I could be way off though.
