What made the NES so interesting?

"Since I used my RetroUSB AVS for the NES footage to get its higher-quality HDMI output, and the Panasonic FS-A1F (an MSX2 machine) for the MSX footage so as to get its higher-quality RGB output, I've technically just compared the PPU (Picture Processing Unit, the NES' graphics chip) and the TMS9918A without actually using a real PPU or a real TMS9918A. Good job, Nicole." lmao

It’s free real estate, or something."
