Amazon product ASIN B002B9XB0E
That is all you need. It is the best SNES feeling you can get for less than $50. At $13 it is a steal. I have 2 for my RetroPie.
EDIT: I don't know why the fuck it won't just put the Amazon link instead of converting it to a media link, but just search "iBuffalo SNES" on Amazon.

I put together a Raspberry Pi emulator box for my niece back in March.
If the fucking licesning on the emulators didn't prevent them from being distributed on a product sold for cash, I'd totally just build MAME (read: emulator) cabinets and sell 'em for 700 bucks+shipping. That was a simple ass fucking endeavor. Like, an hour and I was done.

Agreed. Setting up the rpi was so easy. If you have even a basic understanding of Linux it is nearly impossible to fuck up.

That was Super Tecmo Bowl For me. We would have 4-5 guys pick a team and play a whole season in a day.
Fucking bills, fucking Bo Jackson.

I actually really liked Bomberman 64. I beat it, but it was so long ago I barely remember it.

Yeah I liked it but I got stuck somewhere. Also, there was some code you could put in at light speed but given a few hundred attempts I was never successful and surrendered. I think that's the only time I've ever given up on hard inputs and I did every single 10 hit+ combo in the Tekken games I played and the Street Fighter 4 combo challenges for the chars I played.

Have you ever played the Flintstones game? The first (I think) one with the basketball. That was a pretty damn fun game along the same lines of many of these. I definitely remember that Bugs Bunny game. Rented that more than a couple times as a kid. Really enjoyed that one. Little Nemo and Rescue Rangers were a big part of my NES childhood. Many fond memories.
My parents brought me to Walmart to buy a game and for whatever reason I decided I wanted the Flintstones game. The guy at the counter kept reiterating how difficult it was and I should probably choose something else being that I was so young and dumb. My stubborn ass got it anyway and to do this day still remember how much I struggled with it. Pretty sure I ended up returning it.

Yeah neither my brother or I ever really made it off that first map of stages but we still played the hell out of it. Well until we got a Game Genie then we replayed every game we had to beat them with awesome cheats. lol

For me and my buddies it was a lot of the SNES Street Fighter games, Mario Kart, and NBA Jam. Winner stays.
College was a lot of Mario kart and goldeneye, but I don't care for FPS so it never got me.
I remember getting a game genie then going to our local movie rental place and blowing through their entire library in a few weeks. The only game that stuck out to me was Home Alone SNES. Or was it Super Home Alone? It was awful, but the game genie made it tolerable.
Oh and Out of this World. That was the first real indie game I spent time on because I was too poor for a PC. I'm sure that game is pure frustration now, but I prided myself on how fast I could complete it. I think it had multiple endings based on choices and maybe not dying.

Jesus I forgot about this game. Not sure if we talking about the same one or not. One I'm talking about you basically tried to hide through the house and use traps to disable them. Basically had to last a certain amount of time to win. I was never able to beat it, but remember hiding in the christmas tree gave the best chance of not getting caught. It was complete rng whether they found you when they walked over you.
