R.I.P. SNES 1992-2009

Well it was about time that my SNES hit the bucket after working since 1992! Yeah as I was testing the recent games I got, the SNES just couldn't go on anymore and started acting up. It was a great run this console had but sadly it's in non working condition. I won't throw it in the garbage because it means a lot to me. As of now, this SNES is retired!...

Nothing much lately

I haven't had time to visit the local thrift stores lately but I'll be able to do it eventually so sadly there are no new games acquisitions. I also decided to stop collecting Famicom and focus on my other collections which are embarrassing in my opinion which is why I haven't showed them at all. Those collections include the SNES, N64, PSX, PS2, and...
