Consoles…the good old days!
This brings back good memories…did you play consoles as a kid?? were you into Nintendo or Sega?
…I have no idea if $120 was a good price or not!

My folks would never buy my brothers and I this sort of thing… so we had to wait for our friends to be done with their old ones.
I think we finally got our Atari in 1996
Pitfall rocks!

Same here Hayley - got hand-me-downs from my cousin and played around on friends. This is pretty bad i know, but i remember i made friends with one guy just because i knew he had a C64! lame!
I think my fave on Atari (2600?) was keystone capers. simple and stupid but strangely addictive.
And Geoff - i’m with you for Alex kid in miracle world! I loved the song and the little motor bike that he rode. did you get into Sonic? …it is “the sonic system” after all…

I was always jealous of my next door neighbour. he had a mega-drive. Sonic the hedgehog sounds much more apealing than study
i wonder if there is an online version??

genius! it’s even got the sonic music!!
I think you can emulate the mega drive on pc’s/macs these days and play the real thing. I had SNES + super mario going on my X-Box a while ago. Fun, but not the same as playing it on the real thing though!!

Ahh, the good ol’ SNES days… Although That would have been $130 US (Hills was a US based department store) - so around $190 AUD…
I think that’s around what we paid for mine back in good ol’ 1995…

I got a SNES for my 9th or 10th birthday, with the original Donkey Kong Country. I remember thinking that one day I might pass it on to my kids…. hah! It still works, it’s still possible. We also grew up with a C64, such benefits of having older siblings.

@marty: Sweet! you should def. hang onto it. forget rings, SNES is the new family heirloom.
If storage becomes a problem though you could downsize to this:
portable SNES
