My First Video Console Story

In August 1995, I bought a 8-bit Micro Genius video game console with my savings. It was a great moment when I came to home. I still remember its box, Blanka and Chun-Li fighting, Mario. What were in the box as the photo below: A console, a cartridge, a gun and two controllers.

You can guess which game I played with the gun, it's Duck Hunt. I think it was the most entertaining and famous game of those times as we were able to use an electronic gun rather than a controller for a video game.

Another game I played much was Street Fighter with five fighters. There was a rumour in my neighbourhood if you had inserted the cartridge in reverse, Street Fighter would have come up with 12 fighters. Child's mind :)

There's a lot to say about Retro Consoles and Games. I don't know if the challenge has a deadline, I hope to prepare some more posts about the other specific contents of the challenge.

Reading this publication makes me remember the first console that I gave to my son, that game of the doggy I have seen it, I know it was about hunting, but I never had more details.

That console looks like a good Nintendo Famicom clone. I wonder if the eject button is fragile like the Famicom's after constant use...?
