[link|http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/09/nintendo-famicom-teardown/|Check out their story]! | | | For those of you born in this century, the Famicom -- short for Family Computer -- is the name of the Nintendo Entertainment System ([link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System|NES]) in Japan.
