The Nintendo Famicom was actually my second system (around ’88, ’89) after the Colecovision (favorite game, Cattrax). In fact, my system was one of the early bootlegs and it even had turbo buttons. First game was Macross, then Super Mario Brothers (also a bootleg from Taiwan). At the time (I was 12), I was actually the neighborhood tech support for installing their new Famicoms. My first failure was the actual NES as it had a large RF gray adapter I did not understand compared to the Famicom’s smaller silver one.
