Happy 30th Anniversary to the NES!!!

I found this excellent article about a recent seminar in NYC that was given by the man who designed the NES himself, Masayuki Uemura!

It's a great read!

So, what are you going to do to celebrate today? Bust out the old grey box? Buy a VC title? Hum a tune?

Either way, today is the day! Happy Anniversary to the NES, that fat, grey box that changed gaming as we knew it, forever!
