Super Mario Bros. is REALLY hard. Once when I was a kid I got to world 8-3 after hours of playing and countless stupid deaths. Then my younger sister (she was far too young to know better) accidentally erased my save file.

I will never try to beat that game again.

I'm not even sure why I did it. I have limited patience for platformers and get frustrated and ragequit after only a few minutes...

I don't think I got anywhere near that far into the game so I salute your persistence! And that is horrifying about your save file. D: Who would want to go back after that?

Maybe in that particular case you felt you needed to get through it! Sometimes that happens to me when I get stuck; I just know it's going to drive me mad if I don't eventually succeed.

..........Super Mario Bros. doesn't have a save file...

Oh god, I'm just embarrassed for you.

Really? The one I played sure did.

Also, wtf Mario game *doesn't* have a save file?

Oh god, I'm just embarrassed for you.

You sound like you're talking to someone who just made a horrible bigoted comment or something. I'm wondering if you are one of those anons who hates certain people on f!s or if you are just trying to stir up drama.

The one on the NES didn't, I don't think... I haven't played it since I was a kid, but I don't remember being able to save.

The NES ones do not - NES carts didn't have battery RAM like SNES carts.

Super Mario All-Stars (SNES, Super Mario 1-3 and something called Lost Levels, I think) had save slots.

NES carts didn't have battery RAM like SNES carts.

A lot of them did. All RPGs, for instance. And Zelda. The Mario games didn't, but something like Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy without the ability to save would be obscene.

Ahh, that makes sense. I played the version for GBC.

That seems really odd though. No save? How on Earth did you ever win? Did you literally have to do all 32 levels in a single sitting??

DA - One sitting, and/or very long pauses. Games weren't very long back then. Several hours at most.

Diet... don't take this the wrong way, but some people are a LOT better then you.

Also... warp zones.

Beating the game in five minutes.

I was a little upset when I saw this comment but then I saw that it was you.

It's really weird to hear someone call me "diet" too o_O

this comment makes me feel so old lmao

I was always relieved when a game actually gave you passcodes for levels I could throw a damn party

Sorry ;-; I played the version of Super Mario for NES once, but I think I was like ten years old, so I don't remember very much about it. I never owned it.

Passcodes are awesome. Some flash games use them (though I'm not sure why tbh...they're flash games, memory shouldn't be an issue)

this comment makes me feel so old lmao

Room on that porch for another old-timer? We'll yell at the whippersnappers together. XD

Back in the gaming 'dark ages', kids would get together and marathon play; one person taking over for another when they tired out.

This is how my brother and I beat Rampage, with some friends. It took us 8 hours.

(no subject)

Didn't the Super Mario All-Stars version?

Yep, it sure did.

Oh god, I'm just embarrassed for you.

Wow.

And you kinda sound like a jerk. I feel embarrassed for you. You could have told her nicely.

They were only part-right anyway. The version I use did, indeed, have saves.

Thanks for saying this at any rate :) Glad I'm not the only one who felt they overreacted.

Which makes them look like even more of a fool and a jerk.

And no problem. I normally don't jump into this kind of thing but when I posted I only saw your replying and I was like, "that's not right." It sucks when you feel there's been a disproportionate reaction against you and there's no one to back you up.

Thanks for backing me up! <3

Except later versions of the game have save files.

Not everyone played it on the original NES.

Also, you sound like a pretentious douchebag.

Did that when the gaming systems had no save files. Our power went out when we were on the final world. My brother could have cried. Fun times.

I feel like I was better at those games when I was 12 than I am now, at 27.

That would be... D:

I probably was better as a kid too, if only because I had more patience then.
