Ive have been dying to share this story.
When the thread: "Games you remember playing, but can't remember the name of!" appeared. I realised something REALLY BIG.

Okay...12 years ago, when I was just a kid. I played on the "Family Computer" which was the first console I ever played on. My mother called it The Family Computer and so did my Father. I tried to ask them where they got it but I never knew what kind of console it was or what company made that wonderful machine. As an 18 year old, I have had SO much wonderful memories of it. Especially with the games that came with it.
Ok, I saw a video of Baloon fight in the previous thread. It almost made me cry. I was so happy to see that game again. I had SO much fun with it playing that same game on the "Family Computer". However,I noticed something in the title... it said NES. IT SAID NES??? WHAT THE HECK?? NES???

With further research (Wikipedia like a boss) . It turns out that "The Family Computer" is the non-american version of NES. I also realised that all the child hood games that I have played on was from a NINTENDO CONSOLE.
Because of this new find, I have found a new and profound respect in Nintendo. As a 360 fanboy (Yes, I am). I used to ridicule Nintendo and its Wii console. I thought Nintendo was stupid. I thought Nintendo is the the veteran that has seen better days. However because Nintendo has given me with such a wonderful childhood experience. I now treat Nintendo as my most respected gaming company. They have given me memories. Wonderful beautiful memories.
Thank you Nintendo. I will always be at your side. 
Please share your own experiences with the NES
SUMMARY: I didnt know NES was a NES. That changed my life...
FINAL VID.
