The Famicom/NES turns 30 today. The system that arguably created modern gaming and brought the industry back from the brink. First sold in Japan on July 15th, 1983 for 14,800 Yen. About $150 today. Came with three games: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, and Popeye.

So did I, but SNES games were more than just entertainment. They moved me.

I just played Mega Man 1 the other night. Fun. Absolutely.

But not like Final Fantasy II irreparably moving my soul.

Some NES tech demos I worked on not too long ago.

Going to be getting back to it shortly and work on sound which is new to me. Kinda fascinated with the idea of applying ADSR envelopes to a white noise channel and having it sound like percussion hits , using arpeggio to simulate chords with a single square wave, using offset square wave channels with duplicate content to do reverb , etc.

I was spoiled by SNES' realistic sounding 8 channel wavetable sampler but the tinny artificial chip tunes FM sound of NES/Genesis has grown on me lately.
