I would have loved playing Mario even more if the princess would have given such an amazing treatment to Mario on saving her!
Was that an Atari 2600? That was the first game comp I ever owned. I thought Mario was first available on Nintendo though.
Actually Super Mario was already available on the regular Nintendo (NES) prior to SNES if I am not mistaken. Most of the NES that were sold in the shops came with a free copy of Super Mario Bros.
