I’m always vaguely jealous that I missed out on NES culture first time around.
In the UK, consoles weren’t really a big thing until the Megadrive and the SNES, and the NES seemed to be nowhere at all, at least where I grew up. A few people had Master Systems, but mostly it was Spectrums and C64s.
I’d see the NES in magazines occasionally, or in game ads in American comic books I got my hands on, and it always looked so cool.
In South Africa, we got the Famicom. I was young and not aware of any others until the Mega Drive. I don’t even remember the SNES. Arcades ruled. Until the Gameboy and PS1
NES is one I think is on the verge of “not holding up” vs SNES/Genesis where you can just release a game for it now and it would still do well for an indie.
Still, solid enough library. Favorite game is Jackal.
anyone around when it came out will remember the excitement of super mario twins
They look the same!
I would say to them You want ice cream cone?
Both of them say yes
How in the hell?
40, damn. I still have mine.

I’ve never played on the official NES, here in Brazil we had bootleg versions like this one

What is that system playing? Cause that’s like a Genesis / MD controller

As I said, that’s a bootlegged NES! look at that Ghostbusters cart on the right :)
And you’re right, the controller looks like a Genesis one. But zoom enough on the pic and you’ll see that where the ‘C’ button would be, it’s actually the ‘Start’ button
