Super Nintendo (1990)
The Super Nintendo answered the Mega Drive with colour and sound rather than clock speed — a 32,768-colour palette, hardware scaling and rotation, and a Sony-designed sample-based audio chip that made its soundtracks sound like instruments instead of beeps. Cartridges could carry their own co-processors, so the console kept gaining abilities for years after it shipped.

How it plays here
Super Nintendo runs in your browser. Open the deck, upload a game you own, and it plays in the tab — nothing to install, and your save states are kept for you.
Where your games live
Yours and nobody else's. Every game you upload goes into your own library, and no other member can list it, open it or reach the file — not by browsing and not by guessing its name. Leumas does not host game files, does not link to them and cannot supply them: you bring a copy of something you already own, and it stays yours.
Playing offline
The Windows build runs the same deck on your own machine with no network at all. Your library and your save states live in a folder next to the app, the emulator cores are packaged inside it, and it can also hand a game to a native emulator you already have installed.
