In what year did the North American Video Game Crash occur?

The North American video game crash occurred in 1983 due to a variety of factors. Oversaturation of the market with low-quality games, the rise of home computers, and a lack of regulations led to an abundance of poorly designed and unappealing games. This resulted in a decline in consumer confidence and sales, leading to the bankruptcy of several major video game companies. Retailers also lost interest in stocking video games, further worsening the situation. The crash ultimately led to a major restructuring of the industry, with Nintendo's release of the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985 bringing about a resurgence and the establishment of new quality control measures.
