filler

once again ... how come i didn't know that mario bros was released as an atari game ...

and from wikipedia

The Atari 2600 version is the least faithful of all versions, though it was well-received. Due to 2600 limitations, there is only one pest per floor at a time, and blocky graphics. The player can kick off the Slipice as it is icing a floor. Iced floors only heal at the coin phase. This version also resets the score to zero when surpassing 999,990 points.

so basically, this image on the back of the box is a lie

how do you sleep at night, you ... you ... italian paraquat !
