Games of the week: Reader Mail for: Playstation and N64 By Chip and Jonathan Carter Tribune Media Services Back to the mailbag! HEY CHIP & JONATHAN : Anything yet on Beetle Adventure Racing (N64). We're dying out here... -- Thomas Elvington, Stovington, Vt.

HEY CHIP & JONATHAN : In a recent article, your response to John Green about Zelda 64 [re: the big bomb bag] was wrong! You get the bomb bag inside Dodongo's Cavern. When you stop the rolling guy, he'll just say, "Don't stop me now!" If you had a bomb bag, he'd give you a bomb bag upgrade. And to play the bombachu bowling game, you also need the bomb bag. If you go without one, the lady will say, "Oh, we're closed now. Come back later." To get inside the cavern, leave Goran City and turn at the first right. When you get there, there is a guy and a lone bomb flower. You can talk to the guy and he'll tell you about the cavern or bomb flowers. You have to grab the flower with the Goran Bracelet and throw the bomb over the ledge. Down below is the rock blocking the entrance. If you throw it down at the right place, it'll blow up the rock and you can walk right in. -- Jonathan D., Via the Internet JONATHAN : Whoops! You're right, of course.
