American FDS- What would have been?

[Graham Mitchell]

I feel like the infrastructure at the time wouldn't be able to support the disk re-writing stations, and there goes a big appeal of the system.

I disagree. During the nes era, Nintendo was EVERYWHERE. Even drug stores and grocery stores were carrying it, and these places no longer carry video games, despite the industry being even larger now. Also, disk copiers aren't all that big, they could easily fit on a shelf somewhere. I think retailers would have gladly carried them, considering how much revenue they could have potentially brought in.

I've been wanting a copy of Arumana no Kiseki for a long while. Too bad most of my FDS games (including Mystery of Murasame Castle) are sealed...seems kind of a waste to open 'em after so long when I can just emulate. Plus, I paid way too much for them...
