Step 1
The first thing you will need to find is an emulator. There are specific emulators for both mac and pc, so depending on which system you are using, keep your eyes peeled. If you are using pc, I suggest looking into the emulator called "ZSNES." It works incredibly well and is the most supported. I haven't found a game that doesn't run on it yet.

Step 2
To find all of your old favorite games, try a simple Google search. Type the name of the game you are interested in playing followed by the word "rom." Super Nintendo games are stored in a type of file called a rom that is playable with emulators. When you find the game you're looking for, download it to your desktop. Make sure that the rom is a quite small file though, because some roms can contain viruses. Anything larger than a few megabytes I would look elsewhere.

Step 3
I suggest creating a folder on your desktop to contain all the roms you download. This way, when using ZSNES or your other chosen emulator, all you need to do is search that file path to find all of your games. To play a rom, open ZSNES and click "file" and follow down to "load Rom." Then it is only a matter of finding where you saved the rom and double clicking it.
