Found a Super Nintendo at Goodwill with 7 games for $20!!

ahh, this is truly one of the finer things in life! I went to my local Goodwill and found a Super Nintendo for $20! It came with 7 games, included were of course Super Mario World and Zelda: a link to the past! I got my first SNES back in 94 for christmas when I was 5. When i was in 6th grade i traded it for some Nintendo 64 games (dumb move!) This SNES is by no means in mint condition, the top half of the shell has discolored a bit and it has a small ship in the front. However, it works fine and i will keep this one! I have to admit though.. its weird seeing it connected to an HDTV and next to my iPad.. lol

Nice score!!! I still have my SNES and play it quite a bit. We have a store here in town that sells second hand electronics that has thousands of Super Nintendo games for sale for between $2 and $7.

niceee, there is a classic gaming shop close by but the games are at collector prices! they have super mario RPG for $30!! i guess i am just going to have to look for games.. i just got primal rage for $3 on the bay! lol kinda calmed my RAD down for a bit.. ;)

Excellent find, I still have mine. It was arguably the high water mark of console gaming.

Man...nice score! What part of Houston did you find that in? I never see anything like that near Humble/Kingwood. I've never even seen anything like that in The Woodlands!

Awesome! I sold mine to a pawn shop in the late nineties - always regretted it, though the 5 bucks came in handy.... :(

I have a SNES emulator on my android phone which is nifty - I play street fighter II, the Marios, Zombies Killed My Neighbours, the original Zelda etc. Also of course the Wii is an emulator of the various older Nintendo consoles - one of the best things about the Wii IMO.

James.

I still have my SNES from when I was a kid, and another one in the closet as a backup. :)

I can beat Super Mario World in about 10-15 minutes. It looks like you know your way around the game pretty well too...

LMFAO I still have a SNES and the original NES Every once in a while I break out the old systems and go to town. It wasn't to long ago I had my NES out and popped in the original Zelda. It took a couple of blows and a slide to the side, but I got it working and beat*the game. Kinda funny how when you start playing all the little things come back to you!!

I first played Zelda when I was 12, before you could look up stuff on the internet to get help. It took me forever to find the 5th dungeon. My dad played it for about 5 minutes and found it by accident but when I asked him how he got there he didn't know. I was almost in tears. I think a friend finally figured it out.

I was 6 when it came out I probably didn't start playing it till I was a little older. Your right it would have been real nice to have the internet back then to look up what the hell to do when you got stuck.
