Do you remember toys from your childhood?

I have vivid memories of just a few of them. One of them is an eight-bit video game console, a pirate clone of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which was sold in Russia under the Dendy brand. I spent a lot of time playing the immortal games for this platform.

Later, when I started working as a system programmer I became interested in how one of the best toys of my childhood was arranged. Information had to be collected bit by bit. Then I marveled at the engineering genius of the NES developers.

Fortunately, today there is more information about the NES hardware and games for it. For example, here is a good illustrated book (still unfinished) about the NES internals and how to develop games for it in assembly language.
