Finally, some good news:

Guardian: No more platform No 2s: train toilets to stop emptying on to tracks

It was only recently I worked out what the black sheets on the tracks at Paddington were for.

Now, I wish they'd hurry up with getting rid of carriage doors that can only be opened by leaning out the window and fumbling around awkwardly in public. I still can't do it right.

It probably does. I haven't had chance to fish out all the bits of broken plastic and give it a whirl.

It came via ParcelForce and there was a bit of a rattle when the delivery bloke handed it over. :) The seller has been very apologetic though and she's hoping to sort some kind of compensation. I'm not hugely concerned as the games that came with it justified the money I paid for it, but it's still a bit of a shame.

The SNES Is a proper robust console too! They must have given that quite a kicking to damage it like that. How annoying.

They're for the website. Well, actually the consoles are a bit of an extra as I mainly buy for the games they come with as often they'll justify the price alone.

Looks like this is what's up there.

SNES console boxed

Unboxed Games
Batman Forever
Castlevania IV
Cool Spot
Mickey Mania
Mortal Kombat 3
Royal Rumble
Star Wing
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Mario Kart
Super Mario World
Toy Story
Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Yoshi's Island

Boxed Games
Cannon Fodder
Fifa Soccer
Mystic Quest Legend
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Super Mario All Stars
Winter Olympics

Ebay prices for that lot seems to be close to £500 which surprised me a little though obviously fees would eat up 10% of that, with Castlevania, Cannon Fodder and Mystic Quest Legend being over £100 for the three. I'd be happy to sell those off separately, and would be open to offers on the rest. It's not entirely out of the question that I couldn't head past the cottage at the weekend.

There's probably an N64 available too if anyone would like one of those.

Price of SNES games is a bit mad, not really sure why. I remember when the 360\PS3 were the newest consoles and you would see SNES games costing £40 or more in those game exchange shops.

It's not like you can't play the games on your TV with the original controller or on endless other devices

Great Console though and I still have a dabble the RPG's for this system.

I wondered if interest for the actual console and games would wane when the SNES Mini was announced and launched, but it seems the opposite has happened. Mind you, I'm also seeing similar with the Mega Drive and Master Sytem.

Side note: the spin-off (Uncharted: The Lost Legacy) is at least as good as, if not actually better, than the main game.

uncharted 1 to 3 remastered and Battlefront were the first games I got for the PS4. The former came with the console. Wanted to play those before getting 4. I finished them ages ago and loved them, but somehow didn't get round to buying 4! Fallout etc got in the way.
