I think it was actually a NES, and one of my first games must have been Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt. I must have been 4 or 5 when I got the NES. When I got my hands on it, the NES was already past its prime (I received it from my cousin, who was getting rid of it when the next generation of consoles came in), but that didn't stop me from having loads of fun. Didn't care about graphics or the next big thing. Perks of being so young.

Interesting! I didn't know Nintendo released a home video game console before the NES. And it was quite successful too, from what I'm reading. Perhaps the reason for my lack of knowledge is the fact that the Color TV-Game consoles were released only in Japan.

Thanks, good job. I always loved that subreddit. The comments there, made by actual historians, were always a treat for a history fan. At this point, it's a huge repository of reliable knowledge and it would be a shame to lose it.

What the...? It's such a nonsense business move. The app store now shows this pixel icon when you search for the Reddit app. At first glance, it looks as if it was some shitty clone or something, not the original client.

It shouldn't if you install it as a separate app.
