The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

is an 8-bit video game console

that was released by Nintendo in

North America, Europe and Australia in 1984.

Classic NES system

In most of Asia, it was released as

commonly abbreviated as the Famicom

that is like the 2rd game console

that appeared at home

bought by my bachelor young uncle, of course

the very first one was

I never really remember

or too young to know the name

the Pacman machine with the steerings, Atari

the most vivid Famicom games

as far as I remember

those I am not too sure

whether I have played

because all the adventure games

used to look all the same to me

I remembered seeing this on a PC

the first Window OS computer,

the very first colourized game

at my uncle’s house

then everyone was rushing for their turns to play

Paperboy

 

something I just discovered yesterday

and am having a whale of time playing

Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular

 

it’s quite fun

finding all these games back

because as I said

I didn’t really know the name

just rough memory of how the game looked like

 

hence there’s one missing game

shooting game,

playing as a policeman

going after the thief who can

take the escalator freely

what’s the name of that game??

or player is supposed to act as the thief

running from the police force???
