I've been checking LOTS of video game sites now, and I still can't seem to find this game anywhere.
Do you know where I can find it?

If you once owned it, but no longer do because of various circumstances, downloading it would be your best option. Or if you never did own it, that is a viable option also.

Limewire, .torrent files, or a simple search via Google ought to reward you with such a game.

The ROM image isn't illegal to download so long as you own or once owned the original copy of the game.

thats bulljazzIt's not so long as he lives outside of the United States.

EDIT: And further more, there is little enforcement made by the parent-companies, save for Nintendo due to their Wii project.

Who said anything about ROMS? Try EBay.

Listen to theundeadhero if you have any qualms with simply downloading it or can't be bothered with searching for it in gamestores and the like.

That doesn't make it any more legal. (That's not saying I don't do it, like, all the time. :P)

I just finished burning off a Dreamcast disc with about a gazillion adventure games and RPGs. The rompirate police can suck it! >:(

To be honest, ROM dumping is the only real way that older games are going to survive in the long term. Considering the miniscule life expectancy of most data storage formats, that law is ridiculous.

Of course not. I added the latter statment not as a means of saying that it is in fact legal in the United States, but rather, the statement was made in the vein of saying that for all the legal and illegal attachments, there is nigh nothing in terms of retaliation or enforcement.


And it's more fun to be a pirate anyways. Or something...

I would wait, because it will inevitable see release on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Check my old back yard for six-year-old dog droppings. In them, you will find what remains of my original Super Metroid cartridge. :mad2:

lol @ the pirate video.

cartridges will die out soon since it uses an internal battery to save the data to scram. so after, say 7 years expect not to save your files. careful on ebay since there may be dead cartridges.

google to see if you can change the batteries, im not sure about the snes.
