played vs. super mario bros. today

In Super Mario Bros.

vs. Mario Brothers arcade style is very hard... i couldn't even manage to beat the game. i got to level 6-4.

i think it might have to do with the fact that sometimes the A button didn't work if you didn't press it hard enough. anyone else play vs. smb before?

Yes, and I always wondered why Nintendo didn't make this the cart that came with the system back in the day (I'm not seriously complaining, I love the NES cart), but little things annoyed me, like, where is your time point bonus after defeating Bowser in each castle like in the arcade version?
Where did you get this Vs. SMB? Is it a NES ROM?
~EDIT~>Yeah, found the NES ROM. I played it for about 10 minutes and only managed to make it to 1-3...
Heh. Nice over inflated "top score," some hacker was certainly full of themselves..
I've got to try to beat this one, but then, I'm using the keyboard, and I've found that most action games are too hard with that.

You know, once you get used to it, the keyboard really isn't all that bad, depending on the button layout you choose.

Heck, I din't know this game exsisted until a short while ago. I'll be sure to check it out though. I'd like to try out "all night nippon Super Mario Bros." too.


Hey, don't feel bad. I didn't know it was out there either until AndrewG mentioned it. And I've been wanting to play the arcade version for years!

Yeah, I've just got to get used to it. I tried Wizards & Warriors last night, and with all the "spot-on" jumping you have to do in that one, that should be some good practice.

actually i played this on arcade up in NH at funspot. It was very difficult.... considering i couldn't beat the game makes me feel kind of stupid, considering i can beat smb1 in about 5 minutes... and it has the same gameplay

trying to do it fast is not really an option in this game.

I never really got that game. It was ok for about 2 minutes...after that.....
