Amazing! Wow very cool seeing the sprites / screens that inspired the real game. I would play this game for hours, days at a time. I skipped so much school playing this game. One of my god friends almost got expelled from skipping so much school for this game.
Edit: kind of funny how bad the player was at this game. If you ff to the end of the game he can barely make it from block to block and dies 3 times in the span of 200px.
- knodi123 11y agoWe don't really know he's bad at it. Maybe that was just the last level they had coded, and he needed to be wrapping up. The goal of this demo was not to show off his play skills, but his game design skills. And at the end of the game he showed off being hit multiple times, being killed, and falling in a pit.
- stormbrew 11y ago> Wow very cool seeing the sprites / screens that inspired the real game. Wait, what? Are you under the impression that this demo inspired Mario 3 in some way? The controls look awkward and floaty, so I doubt skill has much to do with it. It's a fairly superficial copy of Mario 3 without the attention to detail in making sure the controls are both fun and really precise. Which, to be fair, in 1990 only Nintendo and Sega could pull off with much finesse (others were good at one or the other, but not so much both). Jumps like that were only fun in Mario games because of that balance.
