  1. More than 20 years by jackbird · · Score: 1 · on Happy Birthday Mario
    That's a crock.

    Donkey Kong was released in 1981. And Donkey Kong Jr. was the included cartridge for the Colecovision in 1982, after it had been in arcades for a while.

    And that's not even mentioning Donkey Kong 3 and Mario Bros.

    So Mario is only 20 years old if you ignore 4 arcade games and at least 1 console release.

    I just hope I can get a custom controller when the next compilation features Tapper.

  7. What do those who make the games really think? by DeadSea · · Score: 4 · on Computer, Arise From Your Grave
    I work for GCC Technolgies (formerly General Computer Corporation). GCC made classic arcade games such as Super Missile Attack, Ms Pac-Man, Food Fight, and Quantum.

    At one point GCC was sued by Atari for trademark infringment over some of these games, so I'm not sure who actually owns the rights to them now. GCC no longer does games. We now make laser printers. As far as I know, GCC has no plans to do anything with the old games.

    If you really want to know, let me know and I can ask the CEO about it all next time I see him.
