CIB; Gloss sticker seal; Hangtab; Box: 6.5; Cart: 8.0; Manual:7.5; See extended comments
First game starring Mario; 1st app. of Luigi; Designed by Shigeru Miyamoto & Gunpei Yokoi.Bought to you by some of the same creators responsible for Donkey Kong, Mario Bros. was a platformer where the twist was, enemies were attacked from underneath, rather than straight on, as each level became progressively more difficult. This game bridges the gap between the first wave games like Donkey Kong, or Pac-Man, and the second-generation titles like Super Mario Bros. When this game was first released in arcades during the video game crash of 1983, it met to mixed enthusiasm, but once the cart made it into home console use, it went on to be a staple in the diet of gamers everywhere. The game is also lauded for the introduction of Mario’s brother, Luigi, and also for changing Mario’s career trajectory from carpenter to plumber, and the rest is history. This game is a favorite of collectors due to its prominent place in the timeline of the story of video games, and the titular heroes, who are two of the most recognizable icons of the video game industry. This Gloss sticker seal copy, CIB(complete in box) is the first print of this game and is part of the Nintendo Arcade Series.
