Assignment 1

In 1985 a new era of video games was about to be unleashed on the world with the NES system. Released in Japan in 1983, the Nintendo Family Computer (Famicom) started slow, due to a ton of programming errors and freezing in its first year. A product recall soon followed and then a reissue with a new motherboard. That was when the Famicom’s popularity soared to the best-selling game console in Japan by 1984. North America came next. In 1985, Nintendo unveiled the American version at CES. It was just as popular in America as the Famicom was in Japan.
