Mario Bros. Clone Released For Atari 2600

Posted by timothy on from the impressive-homebrew dept.

YokimaSun writes "The world of Homebrew Coding never ceases to amaze, even on an old system like the Atari 2600 a coder over at the Atariage forums has released a clone of the original Nes game Super Mario Bros with video, which has the first level from the classic game and eventually will have the first four worlds. Equally as impressive is this 3D Mario game written for the Sega Saturn."

    I'm not sure what amazes me more. That someone thought enough of Super Mario Bros to invest time and energy to porting it... or that someone holds the Atari 2600 in such high esteem that porting anything to it satisfies the definition of "impressive." With absolutely no evidence, I'd venture that there are more billionaire conservatives struck by lightning while fighting soviet foreign agents on donkey-back in the Grand Canyon, than their are people with Atari 2600s joyfully anticipating the release of this hot new title. But, stranger thangs have happened...
