he'll just throw moon rocks at it
Yeah let's see some pictures of it.
I was about to post "... didn't you grow up with one? Like even if you didn't own one, some of your friends would have had one and gotten some exposure."
Then I remembered what year it is, and how people who would have grown up with the N64 or Gamecube as their first console exposure are now old enough to be here (and not as underage b&) and ask questions like this.
Man I feel old now.
I was born in '84, so I grew up all throughout the 90's console wars. My family wasn't rich but I was able to aquire both Nintendo and Sega consoles. I actually remember asking for the SNES for Christmas near its launch - my parents couldn't find one in enough time to have it under the tree for the 25th. It was tradition that my mother and I went to Florida for a week every year right after Christmas Day to visit my grandparents, so I got an apology letter from Santa promising he'd get one to me by the time I came back from visiting my grandparents.
Yes, the SNES is rad. Most of the advice here is solid. The system will probably look like garbage on your new TV, even with the appropriate inputs, because they were finely tuned to CRT screens and modern high def LCD screens are a different technology, different beast. I could get technical about it, but suffice to say if there's a small enough TV in your estate clearing out (like an old box tube that was on a dresser or something) you might wanna take it too.
You have two controllers? Find a copy of Street Fighter 2, a friend, and about 5 beers per person.
Yeah Gamebits are a bloody good set of tools to have.
Retrobrite is your friend there. Google it.
