Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (known as the NES for short) is a video game console created by Nintendo.
It was the English version of the Famicom, and had controllers that could be removed (unlike the Famicom). The games were inserted by opening a door, and sliding the game in, then pushing a panel down. Many people think using this way to insert the game is one of Nintendo's mistakes, because people often say that the games do not work as often, possibly because the constant use of the way to insert the game pushes the circuitry back into the cartridge, so it is harder to read.
The Nintendo Entertainment System was sold with Super Mario Bros. in a special package, and resulted in Super Mario Bros. being one of its most successful games.
Eventually, Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in the USA, and it became an instant hit, revenuing five hundred dollars in less than twenty four hours. It soon became the most sold stand-alone game in history, making many children want to purchase the NES.
