The classic game console "Family Computer" (FC), which occupies an important position in the history of electronic games, celebrated its 41st anniversary today. This home game console, first launched on July 15, 1983 by Japanese game giant Nintendo, not only completely changed the landscape of the global game industry, but also became an eternal memory in the hearts of countless players.

The Famicom, named for its iconic red and white color scheme, has sold more than 60 million units worldwide over its illustrious history, and its game software has sold more than a staggering 500 million copies, a number that not only reflects the enduring appeal of the Famicom as a gaming platform, but also highlights Nintendo's leadership in gaming innovation and entertainment.

To celebrate this historic day, Nintendo announced a series of commemorative activities, including special exhibitions held online and offline, and the release of limited edition peripheral products, aimed at allowing new and old players to reminisce about that time full of fun and innovation.

Considering the time when FC was launched, the children of those who played FC the earliest are probably in college. However, for FC, domestic players may be more familiar with its knockoff product, that is, Subor Learning Machine.

Due to the backwardness of cartridge confidentiality technology and the weak awareness of copyright protection in China at that time, the copycat Famicom Subor was born. In addition to being cheaper than the FC, it also launched N-in-1 pirated game cartridges. It was quite popular among domestic players. Later, Subor also launched a more "innovative" Famicom with a keyboard version than the FC Famicom, which was more in line with the title of learning machine.
