The only known working Super NES CD-ROM system recently sold for over $350,000 USD, and it would be impossible to get your hands on one even if money wasn’t an issue. One gamer sought out his own solution by combining a Sony PlayStation and SNES system into one. The result is something that resembles the real thing, but with a few obvious differences, like the CD-ROM drive. Read more for a video of it in-action and additional information.
The original SNES-CD platform was developed in a short-lived partnership between Nintendo and Sony, with the goal to release an add-on for the standard SNES, as well as a hybrid console by Sony called the PlayStation. However, another artnership with Philips yielded a few Nintendo-themed games for the CD-i platform instead of the SNES-CD. Sony decided to go their own way and continue developing a stand-alone console, which ended up inheriting the PlayStation name.
