NES - Nintendo Entertainment System

Do you remember the good old 80th-is? The 8-bit days? 15.7.1983 was the day that wrote history, when Nintendo released the best (in that time) video game console in the world. And it's name is NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System. 

The system that took the world by storm boasts a game library that proves the Nintendo difference can still shine through after over 20 years. Look up at the Nintendo Entertainment Systems towering pile of over 500 titles, and you'll spot classics like the original The Legend of Zelda, Rares superlative racer R.C. Pro-Am, and the divine Super Mario Bros - the side-scrolling platformer that arguably started it all. Old, but solid gold.

The console itself, had some different case designs, like the Famicom,  a unique, and in my opinion, the best (again, in that time) controller there ever was, the D-Pad! Plus, the NES Zapper, a laser gun, was a revolutionary turnover for shooting games back in the days! Nintendo also made two turbo controllers for the NES called NES Advantage and the NES Max. Both controllers had a Turbo feature, a feature where one tap of the button represented multiple taps. Additional gizmos were later created, like the NES Satelite, NES Four Score & U-Force! But, with no surprise, in recent years, the original NES controller has become one of the most recognizable symbols of the console.

In 2009, the Nintendo Entertainment System was named the single greatest video game console in history by IGN, out of a field of 25.2010 marked the system's 25th anniversary, which was officially celebrated by Nintendo of America's magazine Nintendo Power in issue #260 (November 2010) with a special 26-page tribute section. Other video game publications also featured articles looking back at 25 years of the NES, and its impact in the video game console market.

The games were out of our of this world when the console first came out! The best-selling game was, and it still is, Super Mario Bros, followed by Super Mario Bros 3.

The NES is still really popular by everyone, and thanks to that, it made the very first step that brought us the games and consoles that we know today. Who knows where console video games would be right now if it wasn't for the NES? I have been a fan of these incredible video games since I was a little kid. To me they stand the test of time.
