Learn the story behind the first parental control system for video games. âļī¸ Subscribe | https://www.youtube.com/gaminghistorian?sub_confirmation=1 Follow Gaming Historian: đĻ Twitter | https://www.twitter.com/gaminghistorian đģ Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/gaminghistorian đšī¸ Twitch | https://www.twitch.tv/gaminghistorian đˇ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/gaminghistorian For a list of sources, visit https://www.thegaminghistorian.com #HomeworkFirst #NES #GamingHistorian
