I must have had over 1000 hours on Super Mario Bro’s 3 as a kid

    And Super Mario 3 was a legit AAA game. I remember putting tons of hours into terrible games on the NES.

    I think it was different in the 80s in that we didn’t have as many games to play.

    Our parents were usually buying them for us, so for me it was always a birthday or Christmas affair.

    Also, you had to physically travel somewhere to buy a game, which for me meant having my parents drive me. No digital downlands.

    And of course there were no subscription services.

    You finish it legit? I had to buy a game genie to get to the end!

    I played the original the most. This was a close second.

    Absolutely! Back then, scoring a new game felt like unearthing hidden treasure. No subscriptions, just pure old-school gaming

    How many of those hours were spent on that goddamn airship level

    We bought the power glove for it after the Wizard came out. It’s so bad. 😏

  7. SMB3 is a game you could truly play for months and never see all of it and never really master it.

    First game of my life, should be around those numbers too

    SM3 is a master class on 2D platforming.

    Super Mario World for me. But after that Super Mario Bros 3 definitely comes close
