This bible is dedicated to the Super Nintendo home console (also known as Super Famicom and SNES). The first part of the book tells the history of this console through a quite detailed chapter featuring a lot of pictures. The second and main part of the book is dedicated to a list of every game ever released for this console. Each one of the 2000 games is presented through a couple of screenshots alongside with a small description text. The book then details a selection of "collector" cartridge, with an estimation of their value, and deal with the topic of "homebrew" games. The book ends with a list of cancelled games for the console, followed by several pages featuring photos of Japanese game boxes. It's a reference book for anyone interested in the Super Nintendo.
