Sweet! What games do you have for it? Did you check Amazon? They have some pretty good prices depending on what you want. Some of the more rare SNES games (like Mega Man X3) can fetch ridiculous prices.

We have Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, and Top Gear (a racing game that I've never played but my wife is all nostalgic about lol). Whenever I get to visit my parents again, I'll pick up some of my old games that are still there. My younger brother still lives at home and actively plays those old games, so I can't just take them all 

Top Gear is a cool game. Top Gear 3000 was my personal fave in that series.

At $8, though I already own a SNES, I would of picked up that system.  I hadn't touched my SNES or any of my old consoles in years.  I really want to fix that. 

Me too. I haven't played any SNES games in a long time. Just a couple rounds of Super Mario Kart showed me how much I miss it.

Very nice man. I think the brown color just makes it look more retro.

I'd prefer the original color but this does have a vintage look to it now lol

Yeah, the best system ever! Hope you find some good games, I'm still building up my SNES collection (tons of great games). 

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Plenty of things I never played back in the day

Man, I could play Donkey Kong Country on that thing all day long... wait where is it? Nooo. I don't have the game or the system anymore. Waaa.

I was eyeing one of those combination systems because I don't have a Genesis anymore either. 

That's sad, man  You need to fix that!

I guess I'm going to play DKC on the Wii Virtual Console, but for that game, yea, I want the original SNES and cartridge. I'm gonna hafta go find one.

The SNES is my all-time favorite game console.

Mine too

i never had a SNES as a kid, but I've always wanted to get one.  Maybe soon....

You should get one. It's not too late!

That is a steal.  I would be jealous, but I can always walk two blocks down and steal my brother's SNES and all of my games.

Okay, you win

My parents' house is a veritable treasure trove of retro goodness, which my younger brother still uses, but I'll definitely be taking some of it with me the next time I'm able to visit.

Very nice score. Still got mine and I had a back up I bought years ago through Funcoland. Ironicly the back up died before my original. Its the games that are going to cost you. We have a place here called Game & Trade that specialize in retro used games. They had a copy of Eathbound for $179 and a copy of Chronotrigger for $200. They don't even have the box or instructions! I paid $25 for copy of TMNT Turtles in Time, worth every penny though. But not everything is outragously priced. Best bet is probably amazon and ebay.

Dude, that place will probably never sell those games lol not at prices like that. $25 is good for Turtles in Time though. That's a great game. But I won't be breaking the bank for anything in particular.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe if they were in mint condition with the box and instructions, but thats still pretty steep.

I never had a SNES or a NES. I do have one of those combo systems. It's worked for me so far, but I would have grabbed that SNES, too. Amazon is a pretty good source for used games. I'm lucky here in Maine, I know of at least four places within a 30 minute drive that carry retro games.

I have heard of these...combo systems. Does it play Genesis games too? Buying in person is the best but I'm sure I'll be hitting up Amazon sooner or later.

They have a couple of varieties, some have just NES and SNES and others have NES, SNES and Genesis. Be warned that they are on the flimsy side and don't play all games. So far, I've had no problems with mine, but I haven't hooked up since my move.

Ah the snes,,Good old classic system,,I have about 20 or so games..Been meaning to add more games to my collection..But at the moment I am collecting for the nes. Yeah finding retro games can be something..If you any retro stores..Check them out..but be careful thou..som retro stores are super expensive!! If you have any games you want I can find them for ya,,Well I know a guy that is real honest and fair with the prices of retro games.

I will definitely not be breaking the bank for anything lol. And the nice thing about having a smart phone is that I can always check what the game is selling for online.

Hands down my favorite console of all time! Congratulations on that incredible find, and you're certainly off to a solid library foundation with those three titles. Any titles in particular you'll be hunting for?

Nothing right away. I've played a lot of the big name games that will be expensive now—Final Fantasy III, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, etc.—but I do want to get Yoshi's Island. I never played that back in the day and there's never been a virtual release of it, so the SNES cart is still the best way to go.

Yoshi's Island is one of my all-time favorites. It really showed what the SNES could do, and the gameplay is awesome. When you come across a copy, definitely snatch it up!

And if you need any more title recommendations, I'd be happy to help! Enjoy your awesome new SNES, bud

Cool, you got a rare yellow NES! Seriously though, that's a good deal. My brother got a NES a long time ago with 20 crappy games for like $20. Must have been a clueless owner at that garage sale!  

That's one of the joy's of yardsaling  I just wish we had gotten there earlier so we could have seen what games they'd had.

Good find! I myself found two N64 with A/V and power cables (but no controllers) for 10 dollars total. I didn't get them for I only had enough money for one item in them. more on that later ;)

Hmm, I am intrigued...
