NES

The Family Computer is an 8-bit gaming system that was originally released in Japan under that name, but was later redesigned for many other countries as the Nintendo Entertainment System.

The manufacturer was Nintendo, and it was first released in 1983 in Japan. By itself, it used cartridges for software, and had two controller slots. Numerous peripheral devices such as the Zapper were released for the system. It was the precursor to the Super Famicom (similarly renamed the Super Nintendo Entertainment System elsewhere).

A redesigned version was released throughout 1993, and this version itself had at least three different specs; they were marketed under the same name as the originals, but are differentiated by their model numbers. Japan received the HVC-101, commonly known as the "AV Famicom"; North America received the NES-101 (as two different specs with the same model number), commonly known as the "Top Loader NES". Strangely, both models are generally more expensive than their originals.
