Nintendo Entertainment System

The NES is known as the system that revived home video gaming after the Video Game Crash of 1983-84.

An American version of the Japanese-made Nintendo Famicom (Family Computer) (1983), the NES made its American debut in 1985 in New York City, and was being sold coast-to-coast by 1986. 34 Million units were sold in the U.S. alone.

Though it is best known for its flagship title, "Super Mario Brothers," the little gray box is recognized for leading to many other successful video game franchises including The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, and many more.
