Most people know that the NES was released in America in 1985, that was actually only a limited market release exclusive to the New York City area. The NES didn't have its national release until February, 1986 after (obvious) market success in the test area.
There were a handful of titles released between October and December of 1985 including: Excite Bike, Duck Hunt, Gyromite, Hogan's Alley, Ice Climber, Super Mario Bros., Wrecking Crew and a few others. These games really helped secure the NES' popularity with American audiences and are still fondly remembered and many are considered the pinnacle of classics for the system.
