Well good news is I am finally a proud SNES owner after a trip to the flea market yesterday.

Got one in a lot with Rocket Knight Adventures boxed for $55 total.

The bad news is the cords it came with are third party, mainly the power cord is a crummy third party one that can be used for SNES or Genesis. I tried out the console and the power light on the front just kinda flickers, it doesn't stay on steady. Is that supposed to happen?

I can't get any response from the system and my thought is I need to find an original power cord to test it out correctly. Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with ?

Ah...that sucks.  I've never used those 3rd party cables because they are pretty much crap IMO.  It shouldn't be too hard to find a SNES AC adapter though.  Best of luck with it my friend!

I feel ya I started out my work day...forgetting to bring my lunch bucket after I spent quite a bit this morning packing it. And I work alone today. I'm going to be one hungry dude come 7pm.

I'd be calling somebody or ordering a pizza delivery!  There's no way in hell my fat ass could go all day without food.  I'd just be so sick to my stomach I would feel like puking.

Damn, dirty Steam. I can see myself slipping further and further down that PC/digital rabbit hole. It's so easy and cheap.

The only downside is it's in a DVD-sized steelbox instead of a XBOX One sized case but that's a minor gripe. Guess I better hit up Gamestop.

Days without food are the days I become vicious. You do NOT come between Kashell and his food.

Awsome! The SNES has one of the greatest game libraries of any system ever. Enjoy that.

Usually when that happens, the power cord has a short in it somewhere. If you're lucky, you might be able to find where it's at, and just the wiggle the cord into a place that it likes.

But I'd just get another one off of eBay. And in this case, the 3-in-1 adapter (third-party) is the cheapest option, and has worked fine for me. You'll have less issues with shorts, too, since the originals are 30 years old.

I should mention that the retail copies will be for either PC *or* Xbox One, so those without Xb1s, there'll be a physical PC version as well

I didn't see it available on any online shops yet, but hopefully soon!

Damn, dirty Steam. I can see myself slipping further and further down that PC/digital rabbit hole. It's so easy and cheap.

Haha, I had to tell myself to stop buying Steam games. I have so many already and it just makes the backlog worse. I put the games I'm interested in on my wishlist and wait for a sale or other friends will get it for me for gift-giving opportunities.  Or you could tell yourself to wait for the next Summer Sale (June something), but that's dangerous in of itself.
