                       SNES Game Review Database

This directory holds reviews of Super Nintendo/Super Famicom games.
Besides the reviews, SNES.INDEX contains a list of all released and
announced SNES titles as well as their manufacturer, theme, expected
release date and size in megabits.

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.

jim@brownvm.brown.edu (James Mathiesen)

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).  Don't send me
anything unless you are the original author.  You will be attributed.

Submissions such as a comparison of Golf or baseball games are
encouraged.

If you have additions or corrections to SNES.INDEX, please only send me
the changed lines!  (If you send me an entire corrected file; and I've
already made other changes, then I have a very messy job.)

You can get the latest info on a game's release date by calling
Nintendo at 1-800-255-3700

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 it all to: jim@brownvm.brown.edu
