NES

=Nintendo Entertainment System, NES=

The Nintendo Entertainment System, an 8-bit Generation video game console, was released in 1983 in Japan as the Family Computer, or Famicom as it is widely known as. The NES uses cartridges, which were used before the use of CD based consoles. The NES's controller was revolutionary for using both a cross-shaped D-pad and two buttons that controlled that action, along with two smaller, rubber buttons for the start and select functions.

In 1985, the NES was released in North America, where it quickly became the top selling video game console.

To this date, over 60 million units have been sold in the world, making it the most popular game console in the world.
