Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) A little late to the party, but here nonetheless. I love the Atari 2600 version of Mario Bros. but the Atari 7800 version has hands down, unquestionably, the most shockingly bad controls that I've ever experienced from a platforming game. I've played some pretty darn terrible platformers before, but Mario Bros. on the Atari 7800 really takes the cake. I can say with complete and total sincerity that I'd rather be playing Bubsy 3D, and I don't think I'll be back to play this one again. My apologies to Bubsy and Mario Bros. fans alike. Mario Bros. (Atari 7800): 39,400 Mario Bros. (Atari 2600): 88,500 Edited November 15, 2016 by Jin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The control is fine with the CX-40... IMO Wow... do I ever feel like a total ass now. I just realized tonight when I went to play a different game that the D-Pad on the controller that I use for my emulation rig was broken! Fortunately I had a spare controller to use, but now I feel really bad for trashing Mario Bros. when it turns out it wasn't a problem with the game at all, but the hardware I was using to play it. I'll definitely be remembering this occasion before ragging on any games in the future. Now that I have a properly working controller again I decided to give Mario Bros. another shot, and of course it controlled just fine this time around. A little floatier than what I was used to from the 2600 version, but still totally fine. Here's my new scores from tonight: Mario Bros. (Atari 7800): 84,560 Mario Bros (Atari 2600): 129,900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troff Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was hoping to get in a better score, but this is going to have to be it for me: 41,020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
