It starts with pre-videogame activity in 1889 with the Marufuku Company (later Nintendo) and stretches to the recently released GameCube-DVD system." Hey, it's sunday. No reason to knock yourself out reading the works of ancient philosophers (unless you're taking Ancient Philosophers 230 and have an exam this week).

    "Marufuku Company (later Nintendo)"

    No wonder they changed their name, but then again if they kept it maybe they wouldn't be accused of being a kiddie company ;)
