Famicom Network System

Historia

The Famicom Net System (Japanese: ファミコンネットシステム Hepburn: Famikon Netto Shisutemu?), better known as the Famicom Modem, is a video game peripheral for Nintendos Family Computer, released in late 1988 only in Japan. It uses a card based format, reminiscent to the HuCard for Hudson Softs and NECs PC Engine or the Sega Card for the Master System.[2][3] It allowed the user access to a server that provided live stock trades, game cheats, jokes, weather forecasts, horse betting, and a small amount of downloadable content
