Nope, there's nothing you can do about it. My SFC also suffer from the same problem, but luckily both my SNES are still looking good. Although all of them are made from the same material, some turned yellow some not even if placed under the same condition. Very strange. But well the main reason behind this is the cheap plastic + coating material Nintendo used. The hardware can take some beatings but the shell can't even live through the flow of air

Need opinion which one of these to get:
1. Illusion of Gaia
2. Actraiser
3. Sonic the Blastman

Awesome thread Gundamalpha! I'm glad you started this thread as the SFC/SNES is indeed, one of the most important home consoles made by Nintendo. I have since got myself one a few months back and I'm really loving it. The yellowing is due to the plastic retardant Nintendo used back in the day that was easily prone to oxidization when exposed to UV. They fixed this problem in the later models (i'm guessing after 93 or 94). So if you have a yellowed SNES/SFC, chances are, you have an earlier model which also has the soundchip separated from the motherboard It's good to know that some of the guys here still have their original SNES back in the 90s!! Groovie!

Btw, does your Super UFO unit still work? That's now a rare piece of hardware man...

Phat!!!! Where have you been?

Been busy... Gaming!! LOL.. Sorry for the long absence man... Glad you guys here are still kicking!

gave to my cousin and i guess its gone.

last time i bought snes for super mario world. eventually i bought dragonballz 3, power ranger the movie, final fight 3, street fighter 2...cant remember anymore..those i remember should be the games i like most.

*miss the feel from those days.

Why no one mentioning SRW in early days where u can own GUNDAMs?

The closest experience I had with an SNES was during my flight to Singapore on MAS. I had Street Fighter 2 for the whole hour. Pure bliss.

You played that instead of Hagane?

WAH!!! Kyo conspefirmed OKK!!! go SG take MAS, so that he can get the closest experience with SNES!!!

orang kurang kaya like me, normally take bus or train only...

anyway... I used to enjoy playing the following SNES games at friend's rumah back then:
01) Life Game (JP) - my friend can read, so he'll guide us all through, if I can remember correctly, the game can support up to 8/10 players. It was total FUN & HILARIOUS EXP!!!

02) 聖劍傳說III – 2P CO-OP on 3 Characters, very few action RPG can provide such fun. I believed this shaped the path of action RPG...

03) Super BOMBERMAN – with 10 controllers hooked on the adapter/convertor... chaos+fun is totally out of control!

聖劍傳說 II lah boss, III is solo one

oops...

III can multiplayer ler...

just play super mario world in Wii...480i give me different feeling...

i bought the SNES when i worked in SG before go in Uni in 1996.
Only got 3 ori catridge:
1. Chrono Triger
2. Zelda3: Link to the past
3. 聖劍傳說 II

After that back to Malaysia no more buying any but this 3 games are still my favorite till now.
Too back now the SNES is not working after many years sitting at my hometown. Don't what is the problem. Totally no output to TV.
Really want to take it out and play again!!
So now only can play it on those emulator.

Wow. seems talk abt SNES brings back a lot of good old memories.

My first game on SNES was a loan game from my couse FF2 ( US ), then Dragonball Z 1 ( fighting game ), then SF2 champion Edition. Afterthat, i saved up enugh money to buy Super WildCard, always go to Sg wang there to copy games. 1 Disk = RM 10 bucks.... A lot of nice games, like you guys mentioned. Yuyu Hakusho, Donkey Kong, Super Mario World, Fatal Fury 2, World Heroes, Ranma 1/2, etc etc.

Wow. Thinking all this , i think i gonna download emulator for those games!! haha

so many retro stuff here
can i join the bandwagon?
here's my snes collection




my RF converter still ticks


some games found in game shop junk sale just months ago
there whole box of it still left

So many nice games you have there
