The Super NES and I have an interesting history. It’s a relatively brief one too, as I’ve only owned one since college. For reasons that seem almost inexplicable more than a decade later, I was a Sega Genesis kid; I probably liked the advertisements and Sonic the Hedgehog, but these are sheer guesses as opposed to recollection of facts. Regardless, I remember ripping open a package on Christmas morning and being greeted by the Genesis and Sonic 2 and that was that.
That meant that, in its proper time period, I never had a SNES. My exposure was limited to playing at my friends’ house down the street and, being kids, there were just some things we didn’t really know. I sampled many SNES classics, like Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country, and more. But things slip through the cracks, and that’s why I’ve never played Super Metroid.
