How to Get a Super Nintendo to Work

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is a 16-bit video game system that hooks directly up to your television. The SNES can be plugged directly into your televisions VHF cable connector using a RF to VHF adapter, shipped with all Super Nintendos. The Super Nintendo makes use of an AC adapter that plugs into an electric outlet to draw power. Once hooked up, you can enjoy many of the most classic video games ever made.
