Super Mario Bros. (NES)

Instead of doing a dumb blog about the statistics of the game I'd rather just tell you about my personal experience with the game.
I've been playing on the NES at a later date than when I started playing on the SNES (3 years old), but when we got one when we moved to Vancouver, th
is was one of the games we had.
I was probably 7 when I first tried this in 1997 and I thought it was pretty hard, the controls in this game compared to more recent Mario titles are pretty stiff and once mid-air when jumping, it is very hard to control Mario. I think this game is the best title for this console but damn is it hard, for me at least.
I had been a big fan of Super Mario World back then and if you've played it you'd understand my frustration with Mario's first game. Its not bad, I love that game and the graphics and all the controls are good for the system but they havent aged very well, it is way too hard for me, I am not a person that likes challenge in a game, I like simple games usually, Ive never completed this game even though it's not that hard. I really like the music in the game, its classic, I love the bright colours and its good for kids.

This game is available in the Wii virtual console but I wouldnt suggest it, there are better titles involving Mario out there, this game is better played on the original console, or else its not worth it.
If I could rate this game from when it came out, it would be a 9 out of 10.
