Nintendo Modem System

The Nintendo Modem System was a Internet Modem released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 to low sales.

History & Legacy
The Idea for the Modem happened in 1987 when Nintendo saw the success with Quantum Link by Quantum Computer Services (AOL), Despite it wasn't the greatest Nintendo saw the opportunity with Quantum's Tech and Nintendo's Majority Threshold on the whole industry they felt that they could make it work, And it wasn't impossible either when the NES was being manufactured their was a little slot at the bottom of the device that if you opened would reveal a expansion port which was originally to be made for a possible localization of the Famicom Disk System but could work as a Modem. So in 1987 Plans for the Nintendo Modem System began but due to a number of factors they couldn't get in contact with Quantum they decided to work with ATNT who were happy to help, The System was released on June 10th 1989 with the slogan "Global Communication" and received positive yet (mostly from parents) worried reviews, The Main problem was that a kid can talk to complete strangers and have no idea what their intentions are, Due to this worry from parents and its high cost at 125 Dollars (1989) caused the Device to only sell around 7.3 Million Units. Today the Modem is pretty rare and is hard to come by but from people who have stumbled across it or had it as kids it is a fun peripheral for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
