\"Cory<\/p>\n

Before we go any further, I must clarify that I am not making this up.<\/p>\n

I recently received an interesting message on Myspace from one Cory Holtz<\/a>, a male actor and model<\/a>. His question dealt with Legendary Wings<\/em>. Specifically, he’s looking for someone to hack the game for him:<\/p>\n

Hello Vintage,<\/p>\n

I am so happy to see that hacking is at it’s best with you guy. I am looking to hire someone for a freelance gig to hack and edit one of my favorite childhood NES games “Legendary Wings”. It’s a vertical shooting game and should be fairly easy to program. I’m just a pro at the game and would love a more difficult version, more guns, and extra levels. Please let me know if you would be interested with this freelance gig.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to hear from you!
\nBest,
\nCory Holtz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Not being a ROM hacker of any sort (although I do write about them<\/a>), I asked him if I could post his message on VC&G<\/em>. In a typical Holtzian manner, he replied:<\/p>\n

Yes Please put the notice up! It would be greatly appreciated.
\nThanks for the help. Cant wait to play with you!
\n-Cory<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So there you have it. If anyone out there is up for it, feel free to post a comment below or send me an email. Cory will probably be checking the comments, but if you email me, I’ll pass on the message.<\/p>\n

Update: 02\/11\/2009<\/strong> — Cory just emailed me today and said that he found someone to hack Legendary Wings<\/em> for him. He told me that he’d send me the result, so we’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
