The Lik-Sang sticker is nice! Loved that site, had all kinds of interesting stuff there.

The early models only yellowed because the chemicals in the plastic were mixed poorly. Considering the mix was fixed 30 years ago my guess would be the only way it yellows is if Analogue thought that would be more authentic. You can always get black like I did though.

 

Maybe that's an idea for a future colour scheme - 'nicotine shadow', anyone?!

 

Still torn between black and SF, one has the retro nod, the other is very sleek.

 

My first SNES, purchased in 1992, never suffered with the yellowing. I eventually sold it in 1997 (stupid). Less than a year later I bought another one, second-hand, and that had some of the yellowing. I still have that one, carefully boxed and stored.

What, so don't you want an accurate Super-NES clone, plastic yellowing and all?

 

That might be a bit too accurate for my liking

 

I'm sure it will be fine, just thought I'd ask. It's between SFC and black for me.

Hi Kev,

 

I was wondering if the plastic shell on the Super NT is susceptible to the 'yellowing' that affected the original SNES? I really like the look of the SF model, but wouldn't want something that will be at a higher risk of something like that.
