What if Super Mario Bros. was made in 2010?
Ricardo Trejo
In a world of tutorials and extremely easy difficulty levels it’s easy to forget how hardcore games used to be in the past. So in about 8 images game designer, Zack Hiwiller, summed up how Super Mario Bros. (originally released in 1985) might look like if it were released in the year 2010.
Notice all the intrusions to the game the text messages make? It almost makes you wish games would go revert back to simpler times!
Zack writes: While this post is meant to be humorous, it isn’t meant to be humorous at the expense of my fellow designers. I know we all try to do what is best for our games, so don’t take offense guys! It’s just pining for a simpler time…
