The Prof was one of the more popular ROM copying utilities for the SNES; it copied them to floppy disk, which would then be loaded back in to memory to play.

StarFox pioneered 3D graphics.

starfox for SNES is one of the hardest games!

Playing that game when I was 14 or 15 made me swear so much my mom had the pastor come over to talk to me about my "anger problem."

My GF in high school kicked ass at it... she was one of the coolest girls ever :)

A girl who plays video games really well or just into electronics ==> me have boner.

ahhh i remember the professor thing. The first time I ever saw an SNES, it had that thing on there. The dad was always traveling to china or taiwan, so they had like 5000 floppy disks with SNES games on them. A year after that, I went to a friends house where they just had a regular SNES and didn't know wtf it was

A similar situation happened to me couple weeks ago.

My little cousin from Chicago came over. My mom noticed him playing my Sega Game Gear.
She was like, "Why don't you give it to him? You never play it."

Even though I haven't touched it since 1996, I refused.
I have a personal attachment to my things. Especially my systems.

I still got my good ole NES, along with the first Game Boy, N64, Gamecube, and Playstation.

That's exactly the feeling i'm getting. I haven't touched it for a couple of years, but still!

i have 1 disc that has every SNES rom on it that I play in my xbox. however, playing with the xbox controller DEFINITELY feels alot different than the SNES controller.

Well you can't fit EVERY SNES Rom even on a DVD. You can if you don't include Hacks, Pirates, Homebrews, Trained, Etc Etc. :D

But you can put a complete USA/NTSC Rom set.:cool:

DVD? I'm pretty sure that if the ROMs are compressed, it'll fit on a CD. :p

keep it! i'm getting back into Final Fantasy II (iv) Final Fantasy III (vi) and final fantasy v. For some reason games these days can't keep my attention as much as these.
