NES WORKS 1985-86 SOFTCOVER - BUCH -

Let the games begin! In 1985  Nintendo made a tentative effort to bring its Family Computer
console to America  rechristening it the Nintendo Entertainment System for the U.S. Following
the tremendous success of that effort  they went nationwide over the course of the following
year. NES Works 1985 & ’86 tells the story of the console’s journey to the U.S. beginning  with
an uphill battle to test-launch the system in New York before spreading like wildfire from
coast to coast. This volume explores the 36 NES games that shipped in America by the end of
1986: Not only Nintendo’s own Black Black releases  which included both home versions of
beloved arcade hits (Donkey Kong and Popeye) and new masterpieces (Super Mario Bros. and
Excitebike) but also a lineup of third-party works like Ghosts ’N Goblins and Gradius. These
games didn’t always turn out perfectly  but they never offered a dull moment. The
retrospectives in this volume explore relevant historic  cultural  and technical for each
individual game. Additionally  every game is presented with high-resolution photography of its
original packaging  along with screen shots captured from actual NES hardware  as well as
detailed supplemental information. Along with its new companion release NES Works 1987  the
most comprehensive NES software retrospective series ever published begins here with a single
edition of material originally published as NES Works 1985 and NES Works 1986 (featuring
corrected and fully up-to-date information).
