Tanooki Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Ok I'll be the entitled sounding one here. I'm happy this has been found and preserved, but I'm also annoyed, angered a little, and a wee bit disgusted too. It's a shame this second tier museum got the demo instead of the big proper preservation, display, and share efforts the Video game museum frank cifaldi runs and administers to the public. The demo will NOT be made available to the public, it will not be displayed either. It will be hidden and only for actual known historians for research, basically it'll be like the vatican vault status, need major cred, permission, eyes only, and nothing leaves the dungeon. Very selfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Well, the video I just saw of this PC port looks impressive technically, but at the same time, it makes me realize just how much effort Nintendo programmers put into the physics of their 2D Mario games. The PC port's jumping and collision physics looks a little off, by comparison. Also, can you imagine playing SMB3 with a keyboard? Ugh...

Tanooki Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I can, did with very early NES emulators in the mid 1990s. It's not that bad, easy enough to do once you're used to it. I'd like to try it still, shame it's stuck in a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
