Just found this on Yahoo. I myself always despised the stupid game but for my generation SMB was groundbreaking and Mario himself a legend. I'd prefer a Contra motif myself but hey, that's me. :P

Cool beans!

(god I hate that phrase)

Kinda cool, but I think it would get old rather quickly.

Now, if I could have a VTMB setup, that would rock.

That IS cool. Thanks for sharing.

That would be a horribly Goth-y room.. or beautifully Goth room.
I'm not judging.

...

You didn't seriously just read "Contra" as "Halo", did you?


I know my spread gun's around here somewhere...

My thoughts exactly XD Contra =/= Halo ;)

I'd like a room motif for Castlevania. :P

No SNES? Shame on you dad, shame on you.

EDIT: +1 for the room though (haha get it?)

Ahhh yes, the original Super Mario Brothers, a game from a time when Mario was Nintendo's top pririty, when it got the good music, the imaginative levels and the cool world. Now Mario has been reduced to something only the execs are demanding, a game that gets the cheap treatment with generic tropes and horrible music. It's a shame, Super Mario Wii was actually a good game, but it just looks and feels so cheap.

Anyway, the original has always been my favourite. There is some sweet spot it hitjust perfectly, the perfect length, the perfect challenge, the perfect speed. No matter what pieve of electronic I'm using, if it can run NES games then Super Mario Bros. will eventualy end up on it.

Nintendo is soooooo going to sue that dad to hell and back. Five trillion dollars in damages for using Mario merchandise and illustrations without a license.

Reading this gave me a really cool idea - a Contra/Halo crossover! XD

i admit but living in a room with binary code running up and down the walls in neon - might be a little distracting even for me, thus i broadened the idea to halo i.e. some scenery a couple of bulk heads a ring maybe a few weapons and a nice holo Cortana in it rather thant a giant blue neon room with code zooming past (sea sick).

...

Are you seriously confusing Contra with Cortana?

This is Contra.

There is no hope for the future of humanity.
