Planning on a little bit of nostalgia and looking to buy myself a SNES and some games for it can anyone suggest good places to look?

Thanks in advance

    Probably ebay - but join a gaming forum like rllmuk, if you're not already a member, and there is a good retro section and a trading folder.

    You could buy an xbox & get a snes emulator for it. Xbox about £50, chip ~£20 & dvd of emulator about £5. Looking at it like that I suppose an original snes would be much cheaper.

    Oh it brings back memories - I liked the castle one, can't remember the name of the track. I need to get it out and see if it still works!

    Yeah Gamestation have a whole retro section, you should be able to pick up one for about £20 and games for a cuple of quid each. Plus any second hand shops, especially the big ones like Cash Generator usually have a fair bit. Oh and car boot sales and game fairs always reliable.

    It's all about the red shell on super mario kart :D
