The Sequel to Super Mario Bros. You Never Heard Of

DELICIOUS POISON · 07-13-2006, 11:44 PM

Since I brought this up whilst ranting and raving in the "What do you think about the Wii" topic (in the Nintendo forum) about this, I thought I should make it a topic here in the Super Mario Bros. forum, or at least in the Retro forum.

There once was a home computer system called the PC88, released in Japan. This system was created by the company NEC, who later went on to create the very successful japanese PC-Engine, which in America became the ill-remembered Turbo Grafx 16(And then the Turbo Duo).

NEC had close ties to Hudson Soft, a development company who is now handed off Mario Party duties regularily. This game is possibly the first result of Hudson Soft's relations to Nintendo - Super Mario Bros. Special - on a system not made by Nintendo - at a time in which Super Mario Bros. was ported to practically every pc and videogame system available. They didn't just port it, they made their own version - replete with new levels.

The system's abilities were pretty limitied, but for those of you who want to give it a shot - everything you need can be found on this site:

To run the game, click the menu item Option>Mode>N mode
Then, go to the menu item Drive 1>File Open - choose the Super Mario Bros. file.
