30 years ago today (Oct. 18), the NES was released

in Gamer's Gauntlet
I see it's just passed midnight on the east coast...  I thought I'd share this news.



I myself didn't actually get a system until around 1988, but still.  30 years.

    It was 30 years ago today,

    When Nintendo taught the states to play.

    Videogames had gone out of style,

    And were buried into garbage piles.

    But then Nintendo showed the states,

    how to really play with power!

    With the Nintendo entertainment system!



    Lol I tried.

    Happy Birthday to one of the most legendary consoles released! I don't think there's been another system that's kept such a devoted following, it definitely deserves it!

    lol Nice! It's great to have the same games and systems from the past 3 decades.



    I still have my original Dragon Warrior 2 from when it first came out with my name written on the back and a huge chunk of plastic missing from it. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

    NES Commercials supposedly chronologically. Awesome.
