A Historic Moment: The Nintendo Entertainment System Launches in North America on October 18, 1985

An advertisement for the Nintendo Entertainment System shows a hand holding a Zapper light gun aimed at a TV screen displaying a duck hunting game. A large green and white sign in the center reads 'Save $10 when you buy items (1 thru 3)'. The ad also features the NES console, a Robotic Operating Buddy (R.O.B.) accessory, and screenshots of various games. The text describes the system and games, with item 1 being the NES console, item 2 the Zapper gun, and item 3 the R.O.B. robot.
