Super Nintendo Entertainment System

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (often abbreviated to SNES) is a video game console created by Nintendo. It was far superior to the original NES and rivaled in performance to the Sega Genesis. It had many great games, including Super Mario World, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and Super Mario All-Stars. Along with those titles came perhaps the less popular Mario Paint. Popular opinion of the Sega Genesis vs. SNES is that the SNES outstrips the Sega Genesis in performance and had many more games.

The time of the SNES is viewed by some "the golden age of gaming". It stopped being produced in 1999, but the Famicom model was made until 2003. New games were made until 2000.
