more nintendo nostalgy today: and I ask: how many of you played Mario Bros.?
No, not SUPER Mario Bros. only "Mario Bros.".
don't know what I'm talking about? check it out:
yeah, THIS Mario Bros.
This game have a very special meaning to me, because it was the very first video game I ever played in my life, back when I was like 7 year old! the same afternoon I played some Pac Man too. and then... it was a lifepassion with the two plumbers and everything related to electronic games!
"The Original Mario Bros." cover!
The (very complex) story of this game revolves around two plumbers, Mario and Luigi, who are working in the sewers. The sewers are overrun by waves of enemies and the Mario Bros. have to defeat the enemies and get coins to receive their pay.
The game features a simple stage in which the player plays in an endless game. Enemies come from the pipes on the top and head downwards, where they may enter the pipes again to return to the top. The goal in each Phase is to defeat all enemies. This is done by jumping against the floor when enemies are walking on from below to knock them out, and then the player has to kick them away.
also, as some of you may remember, this same game was featured in Super Mario 3 as a (sort of) competitive minigame, when Mario and Luigi met on the overworld map!
so many memories right now...

ReplyDeleteYeah dude! This game is still really fun. Check out the "remake" on Virtual Boy, Mario Clash
ReplyDeleteEh minecraft is extremely popular so in 15 years we have evolved from 8bit mario to 16bit minecraft... Good thing we have games like battlefield 3.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting how the franchise has evolved over time. Comparing what they began as to what they are now, some big differences are noticeable.
ReplyDeleteVery good game in my opinion. My brother would say otherwise..
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is retro gaming at its finest, well done!
