I guess it depended on your social circle.. :) There were also lots of NES clones with 100+ games built-in, and they were big with my friends. They happily ran my US NES games. A bit slower than my US NES, but they didn't have the hassle of having to get a NTSC TV like I did... I had my NES years before they were available here, but I knew they were sold in France at the time, at least. The Megadrive/Genesis was also a big hit, no question about it.
