Super Mario World on the NES
Whilst Akihabara's shopping district has a reputation amongst videogame fans, it is, perhaps, the black market of Hong Kong which come closest to being videogame's equivalent of a bazaar, a place where almost anything can be picked up if you look hard enough.
Nestled in between the usual masses of pirated merchandise, you'd often find more interesting oddities including the unusual prediliction for modified games. These generally fall into three categories; unofficial 'sequels' or VG 'spin-offs', mashups such as Virtua Fighter vs Tekken1 or videogame 'ports' such as Sonic on a Nintendo machine2
Whilst the quality of these games left a lot to be desired, they are interesting albeit as a novelty. However, this port of Super Mario World to the NES looks quite remarkably well done. The speed and inertia of Mario seems to lack refinement but the graphics and music3 almost bring a tear to my eyes.
- Rather amusingly, the one I remember was for the SNES:) [back]
- This, of course, was more interesting back in the days of the Sega-Nintendo rivalry when Sega was still a player in the console wars. [back]
- Oh, how I love retro VG music. [back]
