Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation (www.gamesradar.com)

If you want an SNES that's going to take a while, but it's definitely findable. If you want a device that can play SNES cartridges (along with many others) look into getting a Retron. It's got NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis, Famicom, Super Famicom, and Gameboy plus a place to plug in those old controllers.

Wow ... I love the nostalgia of the original old units but this is definitely an option I'll have to look into.

Lol ... I feel like a 12 year old fantasizing about the latest 16bit and 32bit gaming systems

Thanks for this

Sure thing! I had an older one before my current emulation setup. It worked really well.
