Long before the rise of systems like the PlayStation 1/2/3, XBox/360, Wii, etc., there was console system that dominated the 80s, the NES! I ran into this Youtube video the other day; it's a taped news segment from 1988, about the popularity of the NES:

It's funny, considering that the current Wii craze these days reminds me of the NES craze in the 80s. I remember when our family first got the NES back in 1987. I was 5 years old back then; games like Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, Castlevania, Kid Icarus, etc. were so fun to play back then... (Yeah, I know, I'm old).

On another note, it's funny to see Bill O'Reilly in this video (yup, that's him at the beginning and at the end); this is obviously before he became the angst, bitter old man he is today.

I swear I was born a generation late (game console generation of course ^^p) and the nurses gave me to the wrong parents. I didn't start playing games till the middle of the 5th generation =/

i started when we got mega drive when i was hmm 4-5 mabey i dunno
