Super Nintendo, 1996

OK. So I'm rebuilding my Super Nintendo collection of the past.

I did have a euphoric moment while I was bidding on eBay. I was bidding on the game Super Metroid, and I was determined to get it. I staged the digital timer to let me know when the auction would end in one minute. I enabled the one-click setting on eBay so the current bid would update in real time. I copied a bid price to the computer clip board, and I pasted the price in the bid window. I positioned my mouse pointer over the "bid now" button. I waited. The seconds counted down. My heart rate increased. My palms begin to sweat. The timer continues to count down.

10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 seconds remaining in the auction. I submit my bid. SNIPED! I won the auction! Yeah. I've been sniped before. It sucked. But I still won Super Metroid so that is all that matters.

So far I already have two games I used to play, and adore. Now I just need the actual system to play them. I'm looking for a used system in very good condition. I hope I can find one.Pictures to come.
