    Hey guys/girls. I am new to the Board and I wondered if there were still any NES or SNES (or megadrive for that matter) players still around? I am up in Sligo. Wanted to say hello!

    I would say most people here owned or still own most of these systems, the Nes was and still is the best of its generation and redefined gaming.

    I really want to get a SNES, but will make do with a Raspberry Pi in the meantime.

    Well, you're in the right place!
    Most of the regulars here have multiple consoles of the types you mention.
    From Megadrives to Super Nintendos, from Famicoms to PC Engines.
    And we love them!
