Pffftt… Hachi Roku all the way man. Can’t diss that Tofu Delivery car.
What’s an acceptable price now for a used snes with just controllers and hookups?
Went out looking for one today and a guy tried to sell me the above, but with a yellowed bottom half of the shell, for $40. I just walked away, felt like i was getting fleeced.

$40, $50 depending on condition. I paid $55 for my SNES Mini.
You’re going to find a lot of yellowed SNES, it just the plastic they used.
The 600bhp bored L28 on the S30 Devil Z says otherwise.
more f1 talk.
If it’s working, $40 is a fair price. Yellowing is common, my original SNES has yellowed like crazy on the bottom. There’s a trick I saw online once to help restore ABS plastic to its original color using some mixture of oxyclean and something else.
Edit: google Retrobrite (or Retr0Brite). Summary: Hydrogen Peroxide + OxyClean + something to thicken the mixture like corn starch or xanthan gum + UV light (best to do in Spring/Summer days). I’ve yet to do it myself yet, but I’ve read multiple success stories using this method.
Personally waiting for Toyota to announce a return to F1 in 2013 using a turbocharged version of the 20 valve 4AGE (hey, they already used it for Formula Atlantic). And that their cars will now be coloured white with black trim across the lower body.
toyota wont come back. Japanese companies are stupid. and are embarrassed that they fail in F1.
None of the SNES my friends or I owned ever yellowed. Mine never really got a chance as my parents made me put the SNES back in its box when it wasn’t in use. However, my friends just left theirs out and still didn’t yellow. It wasn’t until I hit up a used game store that I saw a mile high stack of them with nearly all of them just yellowed to oblivion.
Meh…would I be better off getting one of those new knockoffs? Just wanting it to play a couple sfc titles. Don’t know how reliable they are…
Yeah, SNES yellowing it really hit and miss. Some (like mine) haven’t yellowed at all. Others look almost brown. It all has to do with the mixture they used for the plastic and the particular production run. That’s probably why you’ll see large batches that have the problem and others that stay seemingly pristine. Not really anything you can do to prevent it except keep it sealed away from air.
I bought my sister-in-law a RetroDuo for Christmas a couple years ago since they had an NES on the fritz and I knew she liked playing my SNES SimCity. It works great, and it works with games other clone systems typically have problems with (such as Castlevania III).
vettel is the new schumi…
wonder how long before ferrari signs him 
fuck ferrari.
I have a retro Duo and its been working fine for everything I’ve thrown at it, but my oldie collection isn’t exactly large. There are some things you have to swear off, like NES light gun games, Castlevania 3, and a few other stragglers, but overall it does its job well. An MC Cthulhu with SNES cord works great for either mode. The plastic case of the Duo is a bit cheap feeling, and the controllers try to be SNES awesome, but dont make it. Get a real SNES pad for pad play if you can, but the retroduo console itself is good for all but the most die hard retro fan.
Oh hush, don’t ruin my mental image of a Fujiwara Tofu Shop Toyota F1 car drifting through Spa.
