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. |

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.

What is that? Is it alcohol driven food? It looks like someone has put burger cheese in between two slices of bread, microwaves it, then liked pickled onions in the top. |

Pretty close but it's actual cheddar. There's brown sauce on it too. Concerningly there was no alcohol involved, just very tired. |

I'm an avid proponent of the microwaved cheese sandwich. Takes about 60 seconds to prepare and it's a delightfully gooey thing. Wouldn't be microwaving it with pickled onions though, that would be a sweaty, vinegary mess. |

Everything should be microwaved, this is the future we're living in you know. I'll stop microwaving things when someone invents me an affordable food synthesiser. The onions were pressed in post nuking |
