I was looking in my local Computer Exchange and they were selling the consoles for £25 each. They had a few games, but is it worth buying one? Which one is better?

That's true, but not ALL SNES games are coming out on the GBA. SOme, like Super Int. Cricket (it was a great game at the time), are SNES only.

Get a SNES and Megadrive emulator of the net and download some games. The only difference is that you don't have the game pads but that don't matter, theres tons off free games to be had.

But aren't all the SNES games going to come out on the Game Boy Advance? If thats true - there's no point me gettin' one!

I'm sure the SNES is the better choice.

Which console is better for multiplayer?

Does anyone know the specs for the consoles. I just want to compare.

Also can anyone give a list of 'must have' games for the consoles?

That's right. But most of the time, the law is corrupt and everyone copies games anyway.

For £25 it's well worth getting one. I would probably go far a SNES. Try and pick up a game called UNIRALLY if you can, it was awesome.

You should be able to get a console and a nice big bundle of games for peanuts. I would plump for the SNES but you might get more games with the Megadrive.
