Super Nintendo Entertainment System

This is my page for tracking the games that I own or use to own on the Super Nintendo (SNES.) I bought the SNES at the Walmart in Geneseo (the old one, not the Super Walmart that is there now) back in 1993 when they released the SNES/Super Mario All Stars Bundle. If I remember correctly my maternal grandparents were visiting us at the time – they would often come up for a few days to a week during the summer. I took the console to college with me in Flint, Michigan in June, 1994 when I started at GMI Engineering and Management Institute there. I only had it with me there through September. I took the Commodore Amiga 13″ colour monitor to hook it too. So I had no television but I did have my SNES.

A large number of the games that I ended up with on the SNES were given to me when the console was fairly old and were not titles that I would have spent my own money on. My big titles for the console were the Mario games (because I had never had an original NES and they were practically new to me) and the RPGs like Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. The one odd game out that was a real classic for me on this platform was Dark Waters 2.

July 11, 2007: Harry Potter V

Untitled: Lake Ontario

I just couldn’t resist this amazing picture of the Lake Ontario shoreline by Hodge from Niagara Falls, Canada. This is just beautiful.  I do miss the Great Lakes.

Today was really busy at work.  I spent about five hours on a long continuous phone call (technically there was a few minutes break in the middle but that was it.)  I was really burnt out by the end of the day.

About an hour before leaving work it started to rain and quickly turned into a flood making downpour.  Traffic is going to be terrible tonight.

I left work and ended up sitting in what seemed to be an endless traffic jam that would never end.  Rain always causes serious issues in New Jersey.  No one can handle driving in rain at all.

It ended up taking so long for me to get anywhere close to home I called Dominica who was in Rutherford with Oreo getting him some shots at his vet to see if she wanted to get dinner in Clifton and try to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tonight.  She thought that that was a great idea as we had tried yesterday and failed and were thinking of trying tomorrow but that is not looking promising.

It took me three and a half hours to go from Warren to Clifton!  Some of the roads are completely underwater.  Under no traffic conditions the drive should have been around forty minutes or maybe less!

We ate dinner at Chevy’s which was perfect because they were really fast.  We walked over to the theatre and got really good seats, amazingly.

The movie was good.  It is the fifth installment in the Harry Potter series and was very much in line with the third and fourth installments which were all better than the first two.

It was just minutes before one in the morning when we rolled into 1180.  Time for bed.

Weight Lost So Far: 27.5 lbs

Commodore Amiga 1000

In 1987 my family bought a Commodore Amiga 1000 computer to be our family’s main computer. We had never had one of our own before although my father brought home machine like the Commodore SuperPet 2000, the Apple Macintosh and the IBM PC XT over the years they had never been able to stay.

The games that we owned for the Amiga were on 3.5″ floppy and have mostly deteriorated and no longer exist in a usable form. The computer still works fine, as of 2007, but sees little action. I have done my best to compile a list of the games that I owned and actually played on the system.

Playstation 2

This is my page for tracking my Playstation 2 video games. Dominica and I bought the Playstation 2 (silver slimline) in January, 2007 after the console had run its course and the PS3 had already been released.
