20 YEARS OF NES
(Posted 2005-10-29 14:40:31 by basscomm)

This past week marked the official 20th anniversary of the NES being
released here in the United States. 1up has a series of articles [
http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3144947 ] up that detail and celebrate
the system that changed the way Americans percieved games and gaming.

I was going to write about the NES and how it shaped my formative years as
a gamer. I even started to write about it a few times, but I realized that
a look around this site already tells that story, so I don't need to tell
it again. 

If you grew up with the NES like I did, just take a moment to reflect on
how much gaming has evolved since then. If you missed out on the whole
8-bit experience, you can likely get an NES and a handful of decent games
for a reasonable sum at a used game store to see what all the fuss is
about.
