Topic: Some Questions about the Super Nintendo

I got a Super Nintendo not too long ago and need help with some questions.

1. On the back of the games it says that it must be cleaned regularly and I don't know how to do this?

2. What causes the back of games and the consoles to turn yellow, my Super Nintendo is still in great shape and I want to prevent this from happening.

3. What are some good games to get, I have Mario All Stars, Star Wing, Super Mario Kart and Super Mario Word 2

1. Take a Q-tip and and some alcohol, dip the Q-tip in the alcohol (make sure it's not too wet) rub it against the connector to get rid of dust and gunk (don't rub too hard) and let it dry. I actually use 409 but I don't suggest using it. Also don't clean them too often or they could rust (that's what I've been told) I'd say clean it when you first get it and if it hasn't been played for awhile.
2. The back is made of different material then the front, it has some thing to do with the amount of fire resistent stuff mixed into it, so when it's played a lot it will eventually turn yellow-ish (it can also turn yellow exposed to heat, UV rays and smoke).
3. Super Metroid, Stunt Race FX, Earthbound, DK Country.

What Super Peach said

Unirally and Super Punch-Out!! are classics also

Just keep it away from heaters, windows, florescent light, and smoke.
There are some SNES's that were made differently so if yours is still like new it could be immune to it, I'd still try to prevent it just in case though.

Thanks for the answers, they has really helped. I am already keeping it in a shady spot away from windows, heaters, smoke and florescent lights so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks again

You're welcome Mario 34.
Enjoy your Super Nintendo!

I think smoke is the primary cause of things turning yellow. If your home is smoke-free then I think you should be just fine.

Also, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
If your copy of Super Mario All-Stars doesn't include Super Mario World, then you should obviously get that also.

I'd recommend SoulBlazer, Plok, The Lost Vikings, Super Metroid [like SuperToadstool said], Donkey Kong Country [same], The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past [like NotEnoughGolds said], and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time.

Try gettting Killer Instinct its a great game to play.

Contra III: The Alien Wars, ActRaiser, Super Ghouls'n Ghosts and Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose! are good games, too.
_{I hesitate to recommend this one game that stars an anthropomorphic red squirrel.}

I find using wet wipes on the outside of games work good to pick up sticky stains.

And some good games are Super Mario RPG and Mega Man X.

Oh, yeah, those two titles Dragoon mentioned are great, too.

I like Final Fantasy III, Super Street Figher II, and F-Zero.

Does your Mario All Stars cartridge include Super Mario World? Some of them do, and some of them don't. If it doesn't, then make sure you get Super Mario World. Also, in addition to the games suggested already, I recommend Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. Since there are so many good games to get, you might want to look for some Youtube videos to decide which ones you like.

What are you smoking? O.O

Anway, Donkey Kong Country game are a must.

What's wrong with what argus said?
Nintendo did bundled a version of Super Mario All-Stars including Super Mario World with the Super NES. It was called the Super NES Mario Set. Take a look:

Mathematicly, that box is the contains the greatest accomplishments of humanity ever.

@Ravage - agreed. The Donkey Kong Country games are really good.

Yes, "Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World" was released exclusively as a console pack-in game later in the SNES' life in North America, after a period where Nintendo offered SMAS as a free game through the mail for anybody that bought a SMW console.
(I've seen on another board that it was released separately in the EU.)

Secret of Mana is a good action-oriented RPG.
