Famicom Disk System

The station that Square started off with, the Famicom only had a modest installed base, making console hit a very elusive goal. It started getting more popular after Square began the Final Fantasy series however. It was used from Final Fantasy I - Final Fantasy III. There is a converter for the station that will allow you to use Famicom games on it, but is very hard to find now.

  Personal Computer

Many emulators such as NESticle by Bloodlust and others are used here. But I don't think I'll have to go much deeper into the Personal Computer's history since without it you wouldn't be reading this right?
