I've been playing video games for 24 years. I've always loved games, regardless of age or era. I was ecstatic when found coleco vision, arcade, and 2600 plug and plays over a decade ago because i would never have gotten a chance to pay those games otherwise(had a 2600 that died circa 94). now I've got emulation, craigslist, eBay, reseller stores, and dirt malls and can realistically play any game i ever want to. the last few years have been incredible for me. I never stopped playing retro games so it's not a nostalgia thing for me, my house burnt down in 2004 along with most of my games. first system i bought(even before i had a new place to live) was a snes from my cousin. he realized he had a bunch of my games i lent him 6 months prior and i ended up unexpectedly getting most of my collection back. that was the best bad news first thing that ever happened to me and made the next year much easier. That year is the reason i can do an hour 100% run in mega man x, and I'm not trying to beat it fast

I was born in early 70's. It was nice to experience things like pinball machines and arcade games everywhere, old home computers of 8 and 16 bit era, and early consoles (although I prefer the computers myself). But, the downside is it was a lot harder to get games and hardware costed more those days (even floppy drives were expensive!) Now it's so convenient - you just download emulator and full rom sets for everything you want to play, including PDF documentation and the whole 9 yards.

Pic is first computer I remember using. Now I have Thinkpad that's 1000x more powerful and easier to carry. :-)

You realise that the yellowing on the SNES systems is guaranteed unless they were never exposed to natural light, right? The earlier (and slightly more common) manufactured units were made with a flame-retardant plastic that yellows with exposure to UV light, causing them to look the way they typically do. If yours isn't yellowed, it just means either you have a later production unit or it was almost never taken out of the box or a closet.

This is also why SNES Mini units are almost never yellow unless they were heavily exposed to tobacco smoke.

I remember at around 4 or 5 years old in the mid 80s, I was at some consumer electronics store with my parents and I recall seeing an nes, for the 1st time, on display in the middle of the salesfloor under a glass case.
