I got my old SNES back!

[stuffedmonkey]

I was talking to my father the other day, and to make a long story short, the SNES I thought had long ago been sold in a yard sale was in fact - still in my parent's attic! This was the set I had purchased on the first day they were available (actually before they were available - I had ordered it through Sears and it came 2 days early!) Also there were some of the old games with it! The Legend of Zelda I had bought back in the day still had the old game save! I was impressed - I preordered that thing, so that game save has been there a loooong time!

Now I just have to start rehabbing the set itself. Having spent the last 12 years of its life with two hardcore smokers had made it kinda funky. I am torn as to whether I should rehab the controllers or just get new ones. But either way, I am quite happy.

Anyone out there ever find a long lost game item from thier past? I stop and think of all the stuff I had sold back in the day - old NES stuff, VIC20 stuff, and a turbographix-16. But to get my old SNES back, after such a long time, just sort of rocks.

That rocks. I remember about a year ago, I found our old Intellivision system with a bunch of games along with the manuals and overlays. It was great, all these old games that I hadn't played for almost 20 years. A giant blast from the past...Nothing beats rediscovering the old games we all played when we were younger...

about 5 years ago, i sold my nes, my very first system from when i was like, 2 years old to my neighbors, the oldest son that owned it went away to college... after a little trade with one of the other dudes that live there its now back at my house where it belongs :D

Our original Atari got boxed up sometime around '83 or '84 and moved into the attic. When I moved out, I dug it all out and took it with me. Still got it, with all the games I had as a kid as well.

Congrats on getting your SNES back. As I'm sure you know, it's a great console. :)

congratulations

be warned though, the yellowing is not there because of smoking, it's there because nintendo used a cheap material on some snes, so i don't know if you can actually fix it...

Yeah, the yellowing is not their fault, but the musky stink is :) Oddly enough, only the top half is yellowed, and it has a few chips out of it too. So i think I may swipe the top half plastics off another unit. Last night I completly disassembeld the controller and soaked all the plastic pieces in soapy water for an hour. That seemes to help a lot with getting the smoke smell out. I'm waiting for my security screwdriver bits to get here...

well a similar thing happened to me, not game related though, I once lost a towel but found it years later with my name still somewhat recognizable so i took it back
