To millions of Japanese gamers, it was the Famicom. To our old comrades in the Soviet Union, it was the Dendy. But to most of us, it was simply the Nintendo. And it was every bit as beautifully and quintessentially 80s as Mr. T, Rick Astley and A Flock of Seagulls.

The release of the Nintendo Entertainment System straddled the whole decade as it made its way around the whole world, en route to selling over 60 million units. One of those units proudly belongs to Burkey, the author of this NES retrospective book. Join me in this nostalgic walk through the past, as we take a look at 8-bit classics such as:

- Super Mario Bros. 1 - 3 -

- Donkey Kong -

- Final Fantasy I - III -

- Dragon Quest I - IV -

- Metal Gear -

- Metroid -

- Tetris -

- Tecmo Bowl -

...and more!
