Oldest Version Of Mario


A friend had a Mario Bros Game and Watch. Unlike the others at the time it was square when closed and the spine was vertical causing it to open like a book as opposed to the others which were comparable in design to the DS.

This too was a packaging factory type game, and not despearately enjoyable. I much preferred the Donkey Kong II Game and Watch I had at the time.

This has got to be around '83/'84 but it's all a bit blury and back in the mists of time.

Ring any bells to anyone?
 
What's that sonny? You'll have to speak up.....

D'you know I can remember when all these computers were sliderules and log tables.

My dad didn’t really get into the Mario game & watch. So I ended up having it. It really wasn’t much of a watch though. I’m 25. So I think I was about 4 when it came out.

Nintendo did release a game watch that actually was a watch in the 90’s sometime, but I don’t think they did a Mario version.

I used to use the alarm to get me up for school.

I seem to remember there was a Mario wristwatch vaguely.

*Edit* in fact here is a rather fetching pink example.

Very nice. No wonder I never saw anyone wearing the Mario game watch.

The Zelda and the Tetris versions were very good though.
 
The Dizzy games were massive in the UK, especially with Spectrum owners. I had a dabble with them but never really understood it myself. Still I never had a speccy. And yes, I know there are versions for C64 / ST / NES etc.

I don't know of this old mario game, could it be this one I remember on the Atari 800?:

Yes. I remember this one too. It was quite nice to play.

There were two others Mario games on 8 bit Atari - The DonkeyKong and DKJunior, both pretty good.
