By DEBBIE RIDENOUR Lifestyle Reporter Each and every year Nintendo Entertainment Systems (NES) and Nintendo games are one of the hottest Christmas gifts for the younger crowd or even the older crowd if you have a husband like mine. But this year a new NES has hit the market the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The Super NES is a 16-bit software creation that offers players an array of experiences. The going price for this is about $199 and the games for it will run you around $50, which when you stop and think, was the price of the 8-bit Nintendo games when they first came out. The games will surely decline in price as the newness wears off.

A few of the games available for the Super NES are: "Pilotwings." This game features multi-dimensional graphics and advanced control which allow the player to experience skydiving, while would-be pilots can practice flying and landing planes. Soar in a hang glider and pilot an advanced helicopter in a hazardous rescue mission. "Super Mario World." Mario fans will love the fourth adventure in of the Mario Brothers series. With a new pal, Yoshi, as his ally, Mario runs, leaps and fUes (with the aid of a cape) through the multiple layers of 3-D landscapes of Dinosaur Island, taking players underground, through dangerous caverns and dungeons and up to magnificent heights in the sky worlds. F-Zerb." Speeding into the future, this is the first space-age racing games for the Super NES.

The game offers players a choice of four proton-powered hovercars and seven race courses, each with its own challenges and pitfalls. Eerie sound effects and futuristic graphics make this a must-have game for race fans. "Super Play Action Football." As with the eight-bit NES, this game will give armchair quarterbacks the chance to make it big in the NFL, the College Football League, or even the Pee Wee Series. There are 28 teams to manage and players are able to keep records of statistics. Who knows, if you're good enough you might even make it to the Super Bowl.

These three titles are offered by Capcom USA Final Site," UN Squadron" and Super Gouls and Ghosts."
