NES
Cartridge-based gaming icon
NES is the Nintendo Entertainment System, a home video game console released in 1985 that revived the North American gaming market after the 1983 crash.
The NES introduced iconic franchises like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
It remains a touchstone for retro gaming culture: I still have my old NES in the closet.
