| Viper1 said: Some of you young guys one the first page need to read on your history. Retailers in the US refusd to carry video game products after losing millions from the Crash of 1983. It took Nintendo almost 2 years to convince a New York retailer to stock its new product...the Nintendo Entertainment System (never once did they call it a video game system so they wouldn't be held to the stigma of the crash). Of course it proved successful far beyond the retailers projections and other retailers took notice. They finally got a country wide distributor to take national orders for retail in 1985.

That's what i said, Ninty was the company that revived gaming in the Occident, i saw it first hand, i remember when my friends said "Another Atari from Japan?? i'll pass" and then we saw Super Mario Bros on a store, we played it like for seconds and all of us agreed that we must have it... Ninty took the time, the resources, etc., and brought gaming back...
