Just bought a SNES ^_^

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

nah this my second SNES, i last had one back in 2000 or so, but i took it round to my sister's one day and left it there for months, and she ended up throwing it out cos she didn't think i'd still want an old console when i had a PS1 at the time, was total gutted.

this one along with all the games came to around the £200 mark.

Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana are my current favourites. Earlier post about is true. I got my Chrono Trigger from Canada for £30 posted. And I need a US to PAL cart adaptor. I couldn't find Secret of Mana on cart at the time so got the ROM image to use with ZSNES on the PC.

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

thats pretty good for 2 hundred the games and the console for 60.
thats like 11 quid per game.
have you tried link to the past it does require patience as you need to solve puzzles etc.

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

it's working good, i occasionally have to blow in the carts lol, but not often

Still had a mint condition snes, along with an N64, psone, gamecube and megadrive, until a few months back - i had a massive clear out of most of my stuff - far too much, and needed to scale back - but I couldn't for the life of me sell it!

Nobody wanted them!

Tried websites, friends, even videogame shops - nobody seemed interested!

Had tons of mint cartridges too.

In the end, I gave some away - for free! - to a few mates, and the rest very reluctantly handed into charity shops.

I still regret getting rid of them, but I can't keep everything I ever own, much as I'd like to.

The Snes was an amazing console.

I wish I'd known this before, I've been thinking about starting a game blog, where I play all the classic consoles. Along with their best and worst games. This would have been perfect! Ah well. Still have me N64 so that's one classic sorted.

On that note actually, does anyone here have a blog? Not sure where to host mine as I have no clue about this kind of thing. I was thinking abot cheating and using http://website.1and1.co.uk as it seems pretty novice-friendly. Anyone here tried it?

I use Blogspot, I think it might be called Blogger now.
It's pretty versatile & very user friendly.
Wordpress is fairly good too, but I would go with Blogspot/Blogger.

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

Yeah I had a couple of mates recommend me Blogger/Blogspot as well, seems a safe bet. Thanks for the input.

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

Bit late to this thread as I'm new here, but I saw the SNES bit in the title and had to have a read. Sammy,you've probably got sorted by now, but I've been using http://website.1and1.co.uk/create-personal-website and I quite like it. It's compatible with WP which makes it pretty handy.

If you've got the site up and running, or at least on the way, I'd love to see it.

Re: Just bought a SNES ^_^

You already have the best three...the Super Star Wars trilogy. (I think these are actually among the best games ever made on any format).

My favourites when I had a SNES were:

Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Shadowrun
Legend of Zelda
Final Fight
Zombies ate my neighbours
Super Ghouls n Ghosts
Secret of Mana

I can recommend every one of them (though some may be rare now and quite expensive, I remember one or two of that list being rare even when the SNES was current!)
