look for a local retro store or swap meet. or use emulation because its free, fun and not illegal because it isnt illegal if no one knows about it :D

eBay is your friend. Do you still live in Europe? You might want to get a SEGA Master System as well, more common.

I've been tempted at times to buy a older console like nes or sega genesis. I usually just emulate them,but it would be cool to have a old 8bit nes console though. I may buy a top loading one at some point if I can find one.
i was just thinking..u know emulators.is it possbile to set up joypad so u dont have to use keyboard?
btw can somebody explain whats the difference between NES and SNES?

in terms of gaphics, the nes is just a bunch of colorful pixels while the snes has a lot more detail. the other difference is controllers, the nes has only 2 actions buttons A/B, while the snes has 6, ABXY and LR on the shoulders.
and yes you can get a controller for your pc to enjoy emulation.

NES is an 8-bit system. The SNES is a 16-bit system. Basically better graphics and processing power.
Besides, why don't you go on Amazon, or ebay or something and buy yourself a copy of the NES system?
Can somebody Explain what is the difference between a Atari 2600 and a Xbox 360?

NES and SNES are entirely different systems with entirely different game libraries. If you want to play 'Dendy' games, which it seems is just an NES Clone, get a *real* NES.
Don't know if you've seen one over there or not but they're like this:
But when you have the time or money, I also suggest buying an SNES as well. It's an awesome system.
