Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m celebrating by taking a week off from playing Super Nintendo games.
But I want you all to keep visiting the site. So I’ve asked some folks who aren’t “video game bloggers” to write about the SNES in any way they see fit.

Thanks for reading SNES A Day!
SNES A Day 125: X-Zone
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Light gun shooter
Developer: Kemco
Publisher: Kemco
X-Zone x-ceeds x-pectations.
SNES A Day 124: Wordtris
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Puzzle
Developer: Bullet Proof Software
Publisher: Spectrum HoloByte
Wordtris throws away the simplicity that made Tetris so great.
SNES A Day 123: Wing Commander
Approximate Release Month: November 1992
Genre: Space flight simulation
Developer: Origin Systems
Publisher: Mindscape
Wing Commander is another PC-to-console port that is technically well done but not worth playing today.
SNES A Day 122: Soul Blazer
Approximate Release Date: November 27, 1992
Genre: Action RPG
Developer: Quintet
Publisher: Enix
In Soul Blazer, you aren’t tasked with saving the world. You have to restore it.
