I'm sure it's like that in the rest of Europe too. I didn't even know what an NES or SNES were until I started frequenting gaming forums. Till then I always assumed Nintendo64 was their first home consoles.

I can only speak for myself, but i never knew anyone that owned anything but Nintendo-systems growing up. NES was a big deal in my school

Then again, you're norwegian. Nintendo was all powerful in Norway in large part cause of the excellent work Unsaco did there at the time. It lasted until Playstation was released. But during the NES and SNES days, the pressure to buy Nintendo products was overwhelming and god help you if you where ever that guy with the Sega console. The norwegian government even sued Nintendo for brainwashing kids at the time. Crazy!
