As the topic subject says, is SMB any good?

Edit: Why the low rating?

IDK

Yeah, Supersonic Molecular Beams are pretty good.

Yes, Super Mario Bros was a great game back in the end of the 80's. Good platformer game.

NFS is usually faster but if you need to interact between or with Windows machines then SMB is the way to go.

No, you're thinking of MDK.

You know, that thing that shocked the San Angeles police force of 2032 in Demolition Man.

With a melon?!

Knowing dtgreene it probably has to do with either programming or roleplaying games.

No it wasn't, at least not part 1. SMB 1 has absolutely abysmal play control, which is fatal to a platforming game. And it also just keeps copy & pasting the same levels over and over again.

Popular, yes. Good, no.

Is it some new sex variation? Sado masochistic bondage?

Or Super Monkey Ball. Or Super Meat Boy.

Appropriate of nothing, this thread is the type I would have marched into the forum trash bin back when I moderated the KOL forums.

it's one of the oldest games in existence. It sold consoles for Nintendo back in the 80's. Probably one of the most iconic and good games ever. I don't know how well it holds up today, but it is one of the best examples for how to design a game that will live forever. Innovative and fun.

it is quite comprehensive, but if it is good or not depends on your view of medieval ballads

The game has super tight controls - that goes for Super Mario Brothers AND Super Meat Boy.
