Yesterday I was looking for ways to procrastinate when I remembered how much fun I used to have when playing my sister's Super Nintendo (SNES). Yes, it was a bit embarressing when my older sister who is not a computer geek owned a gaming console that kicked the shit out of anything I had ever owned (which was in fact a SEGA Master System II). I quickly got over that embarressment, and adopted the SNES as my own. The SNES loved me, and I loved the SNES.

My sister only ever owned two SNES games - Super Mario Kart and Super Mario World. I guess it was just fortunate that these were (and in my opinion still are) the greatest console games ever invented. I would play for hours and hours, days on end, competing to get to the last screen, the last boss, the last... well everything. I was obsessed, but me and my one true love were separated when my sister decided she wanted to sell the SNES.

I moved on in my life, accepting the fate of my beloved, and even tried out a few other consoles in the meantime. However, nothing did quite satisfy my gaming needs like 'She' did.

It was all over... until I downloaded a SNES emulator and a few of my favourite game ROMs. I was reunited with my love, and once again have been playing Super Mario Kart at the expense of other "more important" things, such as showering, working, eating, etc. I have actually almost finished the game, and to prove it here is a screenshot of the 100cc cup selection page. As you can see I've taken the gold in the 3 cups for both 50cc and 100cc classes. I've only got one more cup to go (Special Cup Race) and I'll have finished the game.



I ROCK!!!
