JB2013 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 On this date, 30 years ago, the most recognizable and popular iconic character in gaming history was introduced. Although he and his brother Luigi appeared two years earlier they gained popularity when introduced into North America. Happy Birthday Mario! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I really thought you could jump over the flag on the first Super Mario game. Whoever started that rumor needs to pay for waisting my time as a child! Edited September 13, 2015 by fulcrum1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RiderFan Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The engineering team that developed the 8 bit processor first presented it to Atari. Atari declined the opportunity to license the technology, Nintendo jumped at it and it became the NES. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
