I can still remember playing it for the first time in 1985. A family friend of ours had just purchased an NES and had Duck Hunt/SMB. I was all of 6 years old and my little brain was just.... floored. I had already played a bunch of games on the Atari 2600 by that point and even some Magnavox Odyssey² games, but nothing was like the NES.

A few days later, my mom drove us to the store and I got my own system. Most innovative software ever imo.

That cartridge wasnt released until 1988 in the US. However the loose stand alones were both released in 1985.

 

They had both carts. My cousin on the other hand, only had standard NES. Poor bastard had to rent games for like, two years because his parents wouldn't spend any money on games lol
