Hello kababayan! nice to know someone here from Manila (where I was born).
I was introduced to the NES (not the famicom) when I was about 6 or 7 yrs old in the Philippines during the mid or late 80s from a wealthy celebrity (April Boy Regino) at his mansion (which was across from where I used to live). He had about 6 or 7 NES hooked up and he would rent it out to the kids in the streets to play them. I think 5 pesos was for 45 mins of playing time. That is the first time I saw Super Mario Bros and Mario Bros. Good times and good memories.

Kumusta ka? That's a pretty crazy story (compared to what most of us in the west would have grown up with at least).

I remember when I moved to the US, the first consoles I saw here was the Turbo GFX and SNES being demo in the mall (I think it was Serramonte Mall in Daly City) . I remember Bonk's and WWF Super WrestleMania were the games kids were trying out. Those were my introductions to the 16-bit era.
