The Family Computer, commonly referred to as the Famicom was released in 1983 as Nintendo's first cartridge-based gaming console. It became the best selling game console in Japan by the end of 1984.

Game systems and erotica left strewn about inside abandoned homes in Japanese ghost town Nichitsu — shot by Hector Garcia, Carlos Donderis, and Ikusuki. 

“The town sprung up because of a nearby mine that produced gold around the year 1600 and later iron and zinc. In 1937 the mines were bought by ‘Nichitsu Corporation’ and thus the name of the town. Around 1978 the workers and their families started to abandon the place because the mines were depleting and were not profitable anymore.”

Other items found in these Nichitsu homes: old televisions, vintage records, forgotten rice cookers, rusty surgical instruments, family photos, children’s dolls still waiting on their owners’ beds, and sickles stuck in door frames — it’s very Fatal Frame-esque!
