The author of the most accurate SNES emulator, bsnes (now higan), byuu, is selling off his US SNES Collection. The emulator author rounded up all 721 commercial releases for the system to ensure that perfect dumps of each game were released, that they were 100% compatible with his emulator, and that the boxes and manuals could be scanned and preserved.

The last part of that plan looks like it’s going to the dogs – byuu is selling up so that he can start work on the PAL and Super Famicom sets – though apparently he’ll give you a discount if you let him hang onto those boxes and manuals so he can scan them.

The buy it now price is currently a cool $US25,000 – about $34 per game. Considering that the vast majority of them are complete, that’s actually not that bad a deal when you factor in the high price of most of the system’s RPGs.
