The Amiga and the Atari ST are released to the world, but don't make a big enough impact in North America. Meanwhile, in the United States, the video game industry has been quite burned out from all the poor quality titles. Nintendo uses some very crafty marketing techniques to bring the Famicom out of Japan, marketing it as the Nintendo Entertainment System. This name is chosen to make it sound less like a video game system and more like a toy. R.O.B. the Robot also helps sell the whole "toy" thing. This would plant the seeds for a revival of the video game industry. Tetris is quietly created for the Electronika-60 by students at a Russian academy.
