Oh yeah.  All other systems before that didn't have the same graphical capabilities of the NES.  I remember that I used to think that no video game systems existed before the NES-- but-- of course that's not true.

yes but also because before the nes systems didnt have the power to actually contain long quests. games were incredibly simplistic back than, and the nes was the first system to have games that actually had complexity and length

Actually when I was a little younger and I knew nothing about video games in general I used to think that complicated video games didn't exist before the Super Nintendo.  I was then shocked to learn that the original Super Mario Bros came out in 1985 and later on I was shocked to find out that Super Mario Bros 3 came out for the NES and that the games on the Super Mario All Stars game cartridge were remakes of previous games.  I didn't think games like that were possible.  It's hard for me to imagine what games were like before the NES.

Yes, but hopefully, if he was intelligent, which he is, he would have caught what I was talking about without me explaining anything.

However, moronic imbeciles like you need everything explained in full detail, rather than catching something from a little detail.
