"Today I bought a..."

Well, it all started when I was playing Super Metroid on my PC last week and ended up getting completely sick of the game.

It's not that it's not a brilliant game, there's just a few niggles which led me to getting completely fed up with it:

Firstly, it takes ages load up, and half the time the sound doesn't work...
(Hang on a second, that's not the game's fault, that's down to my stupid PC and that useless Emulator...)

Also, the controls are a real mess...
(Wait, Keyboard controls - that'll be my PC again...)

I can't jump right while charging my laser...
(But I can jump left while charging my laser... it's that emulator again!)

It runs pretty slow... (PC's fault come to think of it...)
And whenever I go into a room with water/fog/anything-else-needing-transparency-effects, the entire screen turns back and I have to re-configure... that stupid useless emulator!

So today, (along with a sparkly new SAMS Learn C++ in 21 Days book.) I splashed out 20 pounds on a Snes.
It's set up in my room... but I have no games for it! :-D

Fortunately, a friend of mine has Metroid and Donkey Kong Country (it's very convenient that he just happens to have the two very best Snes games ever), but no Snes (the Snes belonged to his brother who sold it on).
So I'll soon have these gems in my possession.

What's more, I learned that in the market place (somewhere Leicester's City Centre), they have loads of games to sell which never cost more than 8 pounds!

The Gamecube's not released until May?

I can wait! :-)

Yeah there were loads most of them sport but that what most the snes games were.

They sell SNES games at new game prices as well, $30 for super star wars when i was over there.

I have a shop very near me that has over 50+ SNES games unsold, :D

Today i bought duke nukem 64 and piolet wings for a tenner!

i got mine for £4 at a carboot sale , the guy saw me looking at it , it had £5 marked on it , and he just instantly said i can have it for £4 ! and i got iss , and al the leads and stuff with it , and 2 controlers , but it was a big tatty , but works fine !
if you want cheap games just look on ebay , tons i say TONS !

Heh at all you people who are now buying SNES's. I have mine upstairs :o)

Be it have broken control, but I still have one :oP

i sold my SNES with two games to a mate for £50! Oh, and the games were really lame (Porky pigs holiday and looney toons!) He is so stupid..snigger...

£20 for a SNES? That's a bit steep. I got one off a mate for a measly fiver! Only got Street Fighter 2 Turbo, at the moment, though. :(

You'll be lucky to find Chrono Trigger for less than £60!
