I got the winning bid on a SNES + 9 games! Woot woot woot! For only $80 (after shipping) too!

<ul>
<li>Super Metroid
<li>Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
<li>Super Mario World
<li>Super Mario All Stars
<li>Killer Instinct
<li>Donkey Kong Country
<li>Other crapier games I don't care about
</ul>

Granted that at that price its not a steal, but its still a fair deal all things considered. Its cheaper than going to the local game stores and buying a SNES, an extra controller, Super Metroid, and Zelda.. So I think I came out on top, assuming it all works and I didn't get ripped off.

    Congrats! Some GREAT games there.

    I never owned an SNES (was poor) but I played at my friends all the time. I might look into ebaying one too when I get the chance.

    16 whole bits, that's more than I can count on 3 hands!

    Heh, I wonder if they ever had an SNES ad talking about how "life-like" the graphics were. Of course, compared that damn Atari with its crazy games like ET the SNES was a damn fine piece of technology...

    Yoshi World, or whatever the hell it was called, was one of my favorite games for the SNES. All of those secret paths and levels fried my brain, if only I acctually owned one now, I could play all the Yoshi I wanted. *sigh*

    Great buy man. I remember when I got my SNES, $90 for system + about 10 games, most of which sucked, but it had All Stars, Mario World, and Star Fox so I was happy. I would *kill* for FF6 (FF3 american), Zelda, and Super Metroid, you hear me? **KILL** so watch your back doom <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    At least I can now play every Zelda game ever made on my GameCube, EAT THAT XBOX!
    (Zelda Collectors Edition = Zelda, Zelda 2, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. GameBoy adapter = Links Awakening, Oracle of Time, Oracle of Seascons, Link to the Past/Four Swords. GameCube = Wind Waker)

    Atari: dpad, button1
    NES: d-pad select start a b
    Sega Genesis: dpad, select start a,b,c
    SNES: dpad, select, start, a,b,x,y,l,r <- so much better games like final fantasy tactics could be made with this configuration

    Actually.. if I'm not mistaken the SNES was 16 bit GRAPHICS. The system it self was 8bit.. I think...
    Meh.. Still was good games. Unfortunate that I never actually HAD any of the good games.. All I ever had was Super mario all-stars + world (all in one cart <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> ), Battle toads, Star Fox and Kirbys dream course..
    Kinda wishing I had gotten some of the better games.. Such as Super Metroid, Mario kart or Zelda <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
