Hello everyone and welcome to the past.  This site is dedicated to the owner of The Games Arena's console the Super Nintendo.  Hope you enjoy the site and here is a little introduction.

SUPER NINTENDO - Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System knocked the Megadrive into a cocked hat, with superb graphics, a revolutionary shoulder-pad equipped joypad, and a casing that was more pleasant to look at than Sega's charred brick.  Thanks to a steeper price and a late arrival, the SNES couldn't match the Megadrive's sales, but the bloody battle between the two brought about a boom in electronic gaming, with the famous Sonic vs Mario war which still rages on today.  But now it is time to get one it can be picked up cheaply and the games can also be very cheap some just 50p - £1 try it you'll like it.

RECOMMENDED SYSTEM PRICE £20-£25
