                       SNES Game Review Database

This directory holds reviews of Super Nintendo/Super Famicom games.
These files are only available through FTP on the internet.

    ftp brownvm.brown.edu       -or- 128.148.128.40

    USER anonymous                   login as ANONYMOUS
    PASS any-password                give any password
    CD JIM 394                       change to my directory

    LS                               get a list of files
    GET SNES.INDEX                   retrieve current index file
    GET filename.REVIEW              retrieve review(s) for a game

If you need further help with FTP, ask around at your location.  I will
be unable to help.  I also cannot mail files to people.  If you can't
FTP on the internet, you can't get these files.

Please mail me your reviews of SNES games.  I don't play or like enough
games to try them all myself.  I will include any review or collection
of reviews I'm sent (unless it's full of nasty words).

Since I don't plan to do any editing or screening; try not to send
reviews that just agree with what's already in the database.  Don't send
me anything unless you are the original author.  You will be attributed.

Oh yes, in SNES.INDEX I'm trying to keep a reasonably accurate list
of released and announced SNES titles along with their label, size
and projected release date.  I welcome all additions and corrections...
but please, please send only the corrected lines -- not a corrected file
(since other changes may have been made by the time I get yours).

Now get cracking and let's see if this is going to work or not.
I'm willing to put effort into this, and if you send me a review
I should have it on the disk in well under 24 hours.

Send your reviews to:  jim@brownvm.brown.edu (James Mathiesen)
