Hi! Just found Vizzed and pretty excited.

I have a friend with a second hand store that has a Super Nintendo and like 6 game for $75. I've been hemming and hawing as to buy it or not.

I decided to be a little more informed. We never had a SNES growing up (in the 90's), we only ever had the NES (got our first one in 1990...we were way behind the curve, I had friends that had them like 2 years before).

Anyway, we were puzzle freaks. Tetris, Dr. Mario, Yoshi Cookie, Milan's Secret Castle, Klax,... which is what brought me to Vizzed, but I'll get to that...

I had friends that had SNES, but all I ever played was Yoshi Kart and Mortal Kombat (3?). I wanted to see how the games would compare and what I would be missing if I went with the SNES.

So, I find on ebay that $75 for the SNES and games is a pretty good deal, people are paying quite a bit more for the systems. But I found there is now a system that plays both NES and SNES games!? And it can be had for like $40. Best of both worlds!

Still, I wanted to check out games and see what could be had on the SNES (ok, so maybe I should just pitch my friend some money because that is basically the only thing that has me buying the system from him; I like to support my local businesses--especially because I live by a small town--as in we don't even have a stop light or blinking red light in town).

My searching produced the game Klax, and a search for Klax brought me to Vizzed. And now I'm wondering if I really need to buy any gaming system at all?! I haven't played on Vizzed yet. Had to download the plugin. But thought I would post and say hi before I went and played.

Is anyone else as excited as I am to be able to play all these older games? I'm 37 and haven't touched a Nintendo controller in probably 20 years. I do miss the controller part. Probably cheaper to buy a controller than a whole console, though

Ok, going to play now.

OMG this is so totally freaking awesome! Just played Klax and it was so nostalgic!

Even better, did a quick Google search and can get an NES controller that plugs in via USB for a little over $10!!

David, thanks for creating Vizzed!!!

Welcome to the site, after reading your posts you sound like like a hyper kid in a candy store bursting with excitement. Are there any questions that you may have for us?

malimore : Welcome to the site.
You might like to hear that there is also a SNES USB controller as well. :3
Also, from your OP, depends what games are with the system for that price and what comes with it.

Welcome, Randi! It's great to have you join us!

The story of how I found Vizzed is fairly similar to yours, actually, though I was looking for the GBA game 'Fire Emblem' instead. If you enjoy RPG/turn-by-turn strategy games, Fire Emblem would be a fun one to check out!

As zanderlex said, if you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the staff! We'll happily answer your questions!
