I still have my original nintendo entertainment system. I am 26 years old and my mother purchased it for me when I was five years old. My original NES is 21 years old and still works great. On the other hand, my XBOX 360 has got the blinking red ring of death three different times and has had to be sent in to be replaced. They just don't make things like they use to...
Big Shiny Robot with the story:
October 18, 1985– not exactly a day that will live in infamy but one which forever changed the world. Twenty-five years ago, the Nintendo Entertainment System was first sold in America, almost two years after its introduction in Japan as Famicom.
Initial sales were not good. Nintendo had to guarantee purchases of systems by retailers, who were promised they could return unsold units for a full refund. What a contrast to today’s blockbuster releases of the PS3 and XBox 360, or the NES’s great-great grandchild, the Wii. Like the Wii, Nintendo marketed its system differently– as a system that came with a zapper light gun and a robot– A FRICKIN’ ROBOT!!! –as opposed to just controllers.
NES launched in the US packaged with Duck Hunt and Gyromite and only had 11 other titles:
10-Yard Fight, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Excitebike, Golf, Hogan’s Alley, Ice Climber, Kung Fu, Mach Rider, Pinball, Stack-Up, Tennis, Wild Gunman, Wrecking CrewHere is a time attack video for Super Mario Bros. Nintendo's highest selling game at with over 40 million copies. This guy (with the help of a hack) beat the game in under six minutes.

Hi,
I really love your blog!
I wondered if you'd be interested in being featured on a Korean Travel Website? I know this blog is more about current events, observations, etc. - but if you had any information on living in Korea in any location, we'd love your help!
Here's the link to the site:
www.thesouthkoreatravelguide.com
We started it off as a pilot, with just Gangwon-do, but it's been so successful that we're launching version two really soon with information on the whole of Korea.
We'd love to feature some information from you - we would link to you and hopefully increase traffic to your blog also... See www.thesouthkoreatravelguide.com/thesouthkoreatravelguide_contribute.html for details on what's in it for you :-)
Hope you like the website! Look forward to hearing from you!
