I'll start - 26560

First time playing the NES Mario Bros. I've played it on the GBA, Stella and EMU7800. I think the physics are different on this version, or its just me.

[atari2600land]

I thought we were going to do Tetris first. Anyway, I'll look and see if I have a copy of Mario Bros.

[roadrunner]

Game A or Game B?

[Jibbajaba]

A.  Sorry.

[ClassicGMR]

Ooh looking forward to this! I'll get my game on tonight!

[mihcael]

Super Mario Bros before it was super   no thanks, see you next round  

[roadrunner]

  240,960  

The time seems to go by faster on the coin bonus stages on this version and the physics are a bit different.
The bad guys land a little further away on this version than they do on the 7800 version.
I like to have the Sidesteppers (the red crab guys) land on the same floor as Mario.

I hate this game with a passion. It'd be a lot better if those stupid red and green FIREBALLS weren't there! I suck. 63,510

those crabs are as annoying as the stench of crap. 44,290 On my last life, i was on the re-entry thing, and a fireball got me as soon as I got off .

Second post:


This is my first entry to the High score stuff. I looked at the rules beforehand.

72760. That's not bad, certainly not 240,960 but it's ok.

When does this end? Can I play the Wii VC version?


Questions answered. I'll try to get a session in by Tues.

My cousin & I played the coin-op all week long one summer back in the 80s. Got to know it pretty well.

I'll try to post 300k in an hr.

Gets dull in the upper phases w/out the icicles.

[atari2600land]

This is Shigeru Miyamoto's worst creation of all time, and proof that even HE is human. Barf! I am never going to play this game ever again. It sucks. 75,610. Wake me when we finally get to play Tetris.

Remember, we are on a 2 week rotation now, so all scores are due by tomorrow night!  I'll even try to submit one myself...

Well, I obviously didn't get around to posting a score.  Nevertheless, this round is over.
