and some dumb arse questions!
i think i'm gonna get a snes console for my boyfriend for christmas. he was on about the duckhunt game which he used to love. just looking on ebay and the ones that come with duckhunt and the zapper gun all seem to be the action set snes. i thought it might be risky to ebay it so does anyone know of any good retro game websites that are good? also another dumb arse question: does the snes just connect to a regular tv? would you if you had a magical cable be able to connect it to a pc or a laptop?
thanks

Judging from how my SNES was, if you go for the RCA option (which is very superior, but I dunno how much differecne it will make for a "simple" console) you'll probably have to find a fitting cable, which must be even more difficult than finding the NES itself.
I thought Duck Hunt was available on the Wii's virtual console, but it's not...
Even some of the bigger CEX stores focus more on this gen and last gen consoles rather than full on retro consoles.
And... the light gun won't work with an LCD screen - only with an old school TV. However any local recycling centre or junkyard should have plenty of old-style TV's pilled as high as the ceiling for free. (If you don't have one).
yep
