Super Mario Bros.
NES version
the great-grandfather of all platform games, and still a blast to play today
The Good
--> Simple, colorful, but effective graphics
--> Great music and sound effects (yeah, I know it's the NES, but what true gamer doesn't find themselves humming the SMB theme now and again?)
--> Great level design
--> Simple, fun gameplay, entertaining even to the day in the fact that it is simple and challenging simultaneously
--> Was revolutionary when released, nobody had ever witnessed anything like it, helped put Nintendo on the map
The Bad
umm.....hmm....can't say there is anything I don't like, a classic even to this day. If you haven't played this game you must have lived under a rock for your entire life, everybody and their sister has beaten this title at least once it seems.
The Bottom Line
A simple to control platform game that remains entertaining today, and served as the predecessor to a certain high speed hedgehog, tie-wearing ape, and countless others.
