This feat was first achieved even before the arrival of the first Windows, enabling home PC users with DOS operating system to feel the entertainment, action, and gameplay variety of this popular 2D platformer. While Old Super Mario Bros officially remained exclusive to Nintendo consoles, immediately the effort was made to port the game in its original form to the PC.
It popularized Nintendo home consoles after the influential “video game crash” of the early 80s, and created a new 2D platforming franchise that gave birth to a multitude of sequels, remakes, and spinoffs, and provided inspiration for an incredible variety of other similar 2D platformer games. Originally released in 1985 by Nintendo exclusively on the Nintendo Entertainment System home console, this game immediately became a worldwide phenomenon. Old Super Mario Bros is the most famous and popular 2D platformer of all time, and now you can play it on PC in its perfect form.
