The Spectrum Presents – The seven ages of Mario. Computer and Video Games night.
Following on from our successful test run last month, we bring you the full hit; Seven different games on seven different systems charting Mario’s progress from introduction to current day.
1) Donkey Kong Arcade
A true port of the original Donkey Kong game features Mario’s first ever appearance.
2) Super Mario World NES
The game that started it all and created the whole platform genre. Play it in all it’s original glory.
3) Super Mario Kart SNES
In classic Nintendo style the realism of racing games such as Wipeout and endless Formula One and Rally simulation were shunned for this fun cartoony take on go karting.
4) Mario 64 – US Version N64
Mario 64 practically invented 3D gaming as we know it. However what a lot of people don’t know is that the UK version was a shoddy conversion suffering from a drop in frame rate and massive borders. Play the game running in NTSC as the developers intended; full screen and smooth.
5) GameCube – Super Smash Brothers Melee
One criticism of Nintendo in the late 1990s was that there were no decent fighting games. Nintendo rose to the challenge by developing one of the best multi player games ever to grace their consoles as a launch title for the GameCube.
6) Wii – Super Mario Galaxy
Mario 64 set the bar and defined 3D platformers for years to come. When faced with years of endless Mario 64 clones from other companies it was clear a different direction was needed. Nintendo had to turn platform games on their head and Mario Galaxy did just that!
7) All new super Mario bros – wii u
Shares many of the game mechanics of its predecessor but mixes them with crisp HD graphics and new features.
FREE ENTRY 7.30pm – 12.00am. People of all ages welcome
