Welcome. Some of us are old enough to remember when the only relevant spec in video games were bits.

16 bit 4 lyfe

I also remember when I got a VGA monitor and could play everything on my PC

SNES, Sega CD, or Turbografix-16? Or were you one of those spoiled Neo Geo brats? Lol

I still have my OG SNES, and my son and I play Super Mario World together. One of the best games of all time. I've had trouble with a bunch of other cartridges though, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, and Clayfighter all yield a blank screen at some point in the game. I have probably 20 functioning NES games, but almost none of my SNES games have lasted

In addition to what the other reply linked about cleaning the cartridges, it could be your SNES has some bad capacitors. Not all games use all parts of the motherboard, and from what I understand SNES consoles were somewhat plagued with bad caps like many electronics from the era. If you can solder it should be quite easy to just replace em all in one go; there are even kits you can buy that include all the correct ones.

Haven’t thought about Clayfighter in years. I used to be pretty badass with The Blob.

You may be able to service them if you’re handy.

Genesis does what Nintendon't

I still prefer the name "Mega Drive" because it sounds more powerful.

Mega Drive does what Nintendon't.
