Speaking of Marios that scare me ...

I just came across this video of the Atari 2600 version of Mario Bros. in action (at the awesomely named toplessrobot.com) and had to share it with all of you:



If you were to play the arcade version of Mario Bros. while tripping on some sort of psychotropic drug, I'm pretty sure the experience would be similar to what's on display in the video above.

Now, please excuse me--I have an Atari 2600 emulator and a Mario Bros. ROM to hunt down.

Yup. My childhood friend Charles and I used to play that game for hours (between bouts of Tower Toppler--which is avalable on the Virtual Console under Commodore 64). It really is awful.

I can't imagine playing this game for hours, Justin. The audio alone would make me want to jump off the roof. I do like the trippy "coins" that pop out of the pipes, though...
