Title: 1992 Campus Challenge Competition - SNES
Post by snesmaster on 04. Feb 2010 at 02:55

Hi, I'm working on writing an article about the various competitions Nintendo held back in the '90s. If anyone knows about the 1992 Nintendo Campus Challenge please let me know.

This competition used a special SNES cartridge with a 6 minute timer and the following games. Super Mario World, F-Zero and Pilotwings. This competition cart was used at College Campuses in the US in 1992 as well as competitions held in Canada and in Europe.

If you were in any of these competitions or know anything about them please let me know. Thanks.
