I've been working on this one a lot for the last three or four days...
NES
--
Super Mario Bros. 3
And yeah, it is great. Yeah, I'd never finished it before... only played like half of the worlds maybe, actually. Some of the levels, particularly in worlds 7 and 8, were really, really hard, pretty hardcore stuff (I didn't skip any worlds or use the warp whistles, but didn't always beat every single level when you had a choice). Oddly though, the bosses are all really easy, right to the end... the levels are the challenge.
Really though, that game's great, but way too long to not have saving. Why can't I just save and pick it up later... either you need a ridiculous play session, learn where the warp whistles are, or leave the system on for several days. For a later NES title, it really should have had saving...
Anyway though, it was a fantastic game, and I really liked it, definitely finally worth playing. I can finally understand why people think it's the best Mario game ever... I mean, I still don't agree, but I can understand it better now. The second half of the game is a big jump over the first half... before I'd usually quit in world 2 or something. Stupid desert... but anyway.
