Happy 40th anniversary to the NES! In 2006 — 19 years ago now! — I wrote a small book all about the system's launch on October 18, 1985. It got my foot in the door at IGN, leading to the beginning of my game journalism career! (Its digital version is on sale at NFMagazine.com if you're curious!)
Eight Bit Era: Volume One – The Launch, by Lucas M. Thomas. (Sorry there never was a Volume Two!)

Yeah, they've definitely embraced that date as the official one. I just continue to be fascinated by Frank's article. :)

Ask them all if Super Mario Bros. was there on Day 1! :p www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sad...
Sad But True: We Can't Prove When Super Mario Bros. Came Out
When did Super Mario Bros. first go on sale in the U.S.? You'd think this would be an easy thing to answer, but dig as deep as we did and you'll find more questions than answers.

Cyberpunk rocked. A great experience and Phantom Liberty elevated it even further.

The industry's not quite done shaking things out. Sucks but hey, can't keep it going without a breakout hit.

Anyway, I'm looking for work! I'd love to stay in game production/management so hit me up. Producer, writer, localization, quality analysis. DMs open!

Retweets are super appreciated.
