But the most valuable were those in which there were from 3 to 10 different games. Young people were constantly changing, buying and selling cartridges to each other. Even in our time, you can meet people who have left whole collections of original and rare games.
Thanks to the huge assortment of high-quality and interesting games that were released for the Nes operating system, this console has become so in demand among Russian game lovers. Immortal creations such as Mortal Kombat, Pakman, Super Mario, Tanks, Adventure Island and many others will forever remain in the memory of people who survived the cult of the nineties.
