A Benchmark in Video Game History

Super Mario was REALLY an excellent game. It didn't really matter how primitive it was, it was pure fun. I've been playing it since I was young and I really got a kick out of it. But alas, I have no more NES, so I play Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64. But still the original is one of the best.
