/vr/ - Retro Games

Miyamoto and Tezuka mapped the levels out on graph paper which the programmers then coded into the game.

Also there were games that scrolled before SMB.

>Super Mario Bros invented levels
This is the most zoomer post I've seen in my life.

Pac-Land came out a year before

Before carmack invented 3D everyone had to walk around in a single axis. Imagine how crazy was that.

The Famicom was impressive hardware for its day. More powerful for vidya related processing than pretty much all personal computers at the time.

I'm not sure when the Sharp X68000 came out, but that was pretty much the only computer that could compete with it at the time and I'm sure that computer cost WAY more than a Famicom did.

>>5954225
SMB was HEAVILY influenced by Pac-Land, but Pac-Land is no Super Mario Brothers. I have it for TurboGrafx.

Man was I thrown threw a loop when I selected the fucked up backwards control scheme.

Blablabla jungle hunt and moon patrol had parallax first.

>>5954258
Okay...

>>5954253
Sure thing, but it is a platformer with "whole levels" without a doubt

>>5954250
You literally could've googled your answer

1987. Again, use the internet.
>that was pretty much the only computer that could compete with it at the time
Could? COULD? It was practically equivalent to a CPS1 arcade machine, it made the Famicom look like an ancient outdated relic.
>I'm sure that computer cost WAY more than a Famicom did.
It was one of the most powerful home conputers in the 1980s, of fucking course it was expensive, dumbass.

Why is everyone here retarded? Besides being filled with zoomers of course.

Maybe try not being such faggot? I get it. You're mad because your bum is sore from taking it up the ass all day and night, but you don't need to act like your getting pound in the ass while you're on /vr/

Supposedly, it began as an arcade-style rocketship game, but then Miyamoto saw Pac-land at an arcade and they completely re-did the project. So the first year of development largely just boiled down to experimenting with the hardware.

>U MAD
C'mon /v/ you don't need to be mad.

>>5954381
I didn't post an entire report on a single post, faggot. I wasn't asking a question. Just making conversation. If you can't handle that. That's on you.

>>5954212
There were predecessors like Pac-Land that people mentioned, but it feels like an impressive leap because it was one. Super Mario Bros. was amazing at the time.

People are talking about design influence and historical impact.

But HOW wasSMB built? What computer was it written on? Is there a reverse engineer of the source code somewhere? Is it documented and explained? HOW was the game made?

>>5954448

Game was written in 6502 Assembly
>reverse engineer of the source code
Here's a disassembly of the game

Super Mario Bros invented video games

You posted a bunch of erroneous shit ( a super powered computer from the late 80s) that doesn't even fit in with the discussion at hand (an early 80s console and its killer app). Moreover, you could've saved yourself from that embarrassment with google in 5 seconds. Chill.

>save the mushroom princess from a tribe of turtles

Yeah I also wonder what the fuck they were thinking.

Miyamoto was high as fuck on cocaine he snorted off a Japanese hookers tits the night before. This being the early eighties he was getting a foot job and licking an acid tab off a strangers chest when he got the inspiration for Super Mario Bros. He woke up with his foot stuck in the toilet and found he had coded the game in its entirety on his PET over the course of a 6 month binge. He Dropped a few shrooms and changed into his big boy overalls and tightened up the graphics before compiling the game. Realizing he had forgotten to make a new cloud sprite and that he had forgotten his graphing paper, Spirograph, light bright and crayons at home he decided to just reuse the bush sprite and color it white. Although he had originally modeled Mario off Chef Bogarde the white moustache looked strange. He removed it but realized Mario looked like a paedo without it. He decided to add it back in with a different color but this broke the pallete used on the sky. He decided that purple was a good enough color and that the japs eyesight was too poor from being DPd by American nukes to notice. They didn’t notice. Unfortunately he had named the game super Mario brothers but forgot to include a character select. He decided fuck it and left Mario as the only primary playable character and shipped the game anyways. He died at the ripe age of 37 ripping rails off the banisters of Nintendo’s trading card headquarters as he was known to do, he would slide down the stairs on a carpet shouting “it’s a miyamoto” which gave staff the inspiration for Mario’s titular line in Mario 64 and for the magic carpet levels. Staff knew him to ride on hookers backs and donkey punch them so they incorporated this as Yoshi into Mario world as a gag. He liked it so much yoshi stuck around. Birdo similarly is based off his love for trans prostitutes as is princess peach. The toads were inspired by his midget filled cocaine parties. Hopefully I helped you anon

hhaha dude wat if the mario the mushwroom was DRUG MuNCHROOM?!! eppic

>>5954501
Big if true

>>5954212
Americans view Super Mario Bros\. as a launch title, but it was actually a farewell to the bare Famicom/NES before the launch of the Famicom Disk System, which enabled larger ROMs but ended up being superseded by advances in cartridge tech

>>5954551
Famicom launch titles were Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Popeye. Interesting.

>>5954516
100% true, I asked gay bowser myself

>>5954578
Do you think Doug Bowser is gay?

>>5954485
Wow, "a super powered computer"? Can you even read?

And yes, it does fit because its library shared titles from the famicom.

Worthless fucking asshole. Go fuck your mother.

>>5954598
Can't, too busy with yours

>More powerful for vidya related processing than pretty much all personal computers at the time.

I remember when carmack ported the first level of mario bros 3 to his scroller engine and sent it to nintendo as a proof of concept for a possible PC port, of course nintendo told him to fuck off but it was still impressive

>>5954212
>Did they see these single screen arcade games and Atari games and go "man, what if you could like explore a whole level?"

Nah, they just took a look at Pac-Land in the arcades and said "let's just do that with our Mario character".

Came out in 1983 for the Atari 800 home computer. Did scrolling platforming before Pac-Land or Super Mario.
