The NES represents the start of the 8-bit rage. It was sold with one cartridge that included both Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. The revolutionary controller features a cross-shaped joypad; the Zapper is used to virtually shoot ducks. In the first part of Super Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi have to save Princess Peach from baddy Bowser.

We would like to thank Game Shop Den Haag for the NES console on show in the Arcade exhibition.
