The NES was originally the Famicom, or Family Computer, and it was released in Japan in 1983. There, it sold over 2.5 million units during its first year on the market. Developer Nintendo, a former collectible card company, then decided to expand its interests globally. Executives knew Western markets would be difficult to utilize. The video games industry was in shambles so stores would be hesitant to stock a new console that likely no one would buy. Nintendo planned properly. Firstly, Nintendo agreed to buy back unsold consoles so that stores would not be liable. Secondly, they developed a peripheral known as R.O.B. the Robot that could be used with two of its games (Stack Up and Gyromite both are awful but they served their purpose). With R.O.B, the NES was disguised as an electronic toy, not a video game system. Finally, they redesigned the Famicom and renamed it the Nintendo Entertainment System. The console was released in the United States on October 18, 1985. It was an instant success in no small way due to one of its launch titles: Super Mario Bros.

License: Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors area ccomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

Total Recall

Det var en periode der Arnold Schwarzenegger var synonymt med suksess, og Total Recall til NES er et av spillene fra denne sjangeren.

For å ta for oss historien først kan vi si at Douglas Quaid har bestillt seg en mental ferie til Mars, og da han får ferien implantert i hodet, oppdager han at det er noe galt og at alle hans minner er falske. Du skal guide Quaid frem til Mars, drepe kona di, lage luft på Mars, og deretter vinne spillet. Om dette lar seg gjøre, er opp til deg.

Lydbildet er helt tatt ut av det blå, og ingenting av musikken kan relateres til filmen med samme navn. Det kan til tider virke som om de har hatt samme lydeffektansvarlig som Babylon 5: Crusade.

Gameplay er nesten pinlig enkel. Du går frem og tilbake, slår hardt, eller hopper. I hvert smug er det alltid en knekt som vil gi deg juling, og du kan få tilbake noe av energien din ved å banke disse. Noen folk skyter etter deg, og ofte er eneste alternativ å løpe gjennom kulestrømmen og ta skade.

Altså, jeg har visse forventninger til spill, men jeg har alltid ansett forventningene mine fornuftige, og ikke vanskelige å innfri. Når jeg påtreffer et spill som dette, må jeg si at jeg ikke bare er skuffet, men jeg blir også irritert over at noe som dette har vært til salgs. Det verste er at folk faktisk har betalt penger for dette.

Det eneste jeg finner verdt med spillet, er å skru det av.
