Reacquainting myself with Super Mario

from JoeUser Forums

The day after Thanksgiving, my wife and I went Christmas shopping with our friends Rob and Yukari.  That day wasn't very productive as far as buying any gifts, but my wife and I got something nice for ourselves.

One of the kiosks at the Mall of America was selling a game system that featured the older titles from the Super Nintendo game system.  My wife (who grew up in Japan) was familiar with a lot of the games, and those that she didn't know, I did.

We are enjoying such games as: Mario Brothers, Popeye, Dig Dug, Lode Runner, Bomberman, Tetris, and Donkey Kong Junior.

One of the games that really impressed me was Super Mario Brothers.  I still remember my late junior high school/ early high school days spent playing that game.  (Hell, I even played it in college!) It seemed really "state of the art" at the time.  The character moved from left to right, and the screen changed!  There were a lot of options and possibilities in that game!  Amazing!

(It sure doesn't compare to "Ape Escape 2", "Dark Cloud", or "Madden 2005", does it?)

Here's a picture of Super Mario:

Super Mario is classic! Nothing beats playing the 2-D games. (although some 3-D games are awesome, like Metal Gear 3)

My favorite level on Mario 3 is the battle level with all the tanks. It's fun!

Has anyone ever played the SM: The Lost Levels?

I did. It's pretty hard.
