My First SNES....

1. yes you got a good deal, you know you did.

2. ebay is the only place i can get snes games from.

3. go here for lists on defining, cheap, and alternative games to buy.

1. Awesome deal there.

2. best place, is fleamarkets, goodwill like stores or pawn shops. You're often be able to get stuff pretty cheap. I've gottten all of mine at fleamarkets.

3. Nintendo developed games tend to always be high on the suggestion list, but I would also look into the ones made by Capcom. They made a lot of excellent titles for the Snes console.

Remember to always clean your carts before you use them. It'll prolong the life of your console. :)

to answer #3 is hard, it'd be easier to list off bad snes games

here is syd lexia's top 100, i'd pretty much agree with it

Good job. A Super Nintendo for $8 is a steal.

If there's just 1 game you need to play, it's Chrono Trigger. Others that you shouldn't miss are the Mortal Kombat series, the Donkey Kong Countries, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter II and the mario games.

That is a good deal, i can't remember how much i paid for my snes a few years ago, but i know it was more than $10

some games i would get are super mario world, zelda a link to the past, star fox, i would avoid james bond jr at all costs

that made me happy reading that :P

also konami was a god on snes get any game made by konami and you won't be dissapointed

some games i would get are super mario world, zelda a link to the past, star fox

Found super mario world and FFII today at a thrift store for 99c each. Comes with a plain plastic case, a dust cover, AND original instruction booklets. FF even has the little guide that tells you about the different cities. Another question, if FF3 for SNES is actually 6, then what is FF 2?DRIFTIMUS_PRIME

FF2 on the SNES is actually FF4. It's old school, but old school at it's best. You should pick up EarthBound, AKA Mother 2. EarthBound's a truly unique game, kind of an experience in itself, but it's one of my top favorites ever. Also check out Yoshi's Island (one of the best and most creative platformers to this date, and the graphics are still beautiful).

The SNES is an RPG beast. I think you already mentioned Chrono Trigger, but also look at FF3 (AKA FF6), Secret of Mana, and Mario RPG. If you want some action games, check out Super Castlevania 4, Contra 3, Actraiser (1, NOT 2), and Super Mario All-Stars.

So Final Fantasy 2 on Snes=Final Fantasy 4 on DS? Is that right? But DS has better graphics.DRIFTIMUS_PRIME

That's right. The DS version is a remake. The story and basic gameplay remains intact, but they completely redid the graphics, re-arranged the music, and added voiceovers. It's an improved version, but very different.

my first SNES was bought back in 92 it broke down cuz i ended up using the wrong AC adaptor but i did pick up a mint SNES at a flea market for $5 console only since I already had games + controllers
