What Super Mario Bros. Would Look Like On The Atari 2600
For some reason or another, it's fun to see what a video game would look like running on an older console than it was developed for. Here, Atari Age forum poster Sprybug re-created World 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES in Atari 2600 graphics.
Sprybug says he hopes to re-create 16 levels eventually (World 1-1 through World 4-4) and even include working pipes, flagpoles, and a Koopa Kid boss at the end of each end world.
Head over to the forum post to learn how to try out the demo.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
