I’m always vaguely jealous that I missed out on NES culture first time around.
In the UK, consoles weren’t really a big thing until the Megadrive and the SNES, and the NES seemed to be nowhere at all, at least where I grew up. A few people had Master Systems, but mostly it was Spectrums and C64s.
I’d see the NES in magazines occasionally, or in game ads in American comic books I got my hands on, and it always looked so cool.
In South Africa, we got the Famicom. I was young and not aware of any others until the Mega Drive. I don’t even remember the SNES. Arcades ruled. Until the Gameboy and PS1

In the UK? Were 8-bit micro computers popular there instead? I missed out on all of those in being in the US!
