It's the game which put the world's biggest gaming icon on the map, and firmly planted Shigeru Miyamoto as a genius of game design. For those not in the know, Miyamoto is also well known for his involvement in the creation of other popular series like Donkey Kong, F-Zero, Star Fox and The Legend of Zelda. Often considered as one of the greatest video games of all-time, the arcade version of Super Mario Bros was released a year after the home console version, utilising Nintendo's 'VS System' arcade hardware - based upon the popular Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) home console hardware. While the arcade game appears to be almost identical to the home version, the difficultly has been ramped up a little by way of fewer hidden power-ups, narrower platforms and 200 coins required for an extra life. Playing Super Mario Bros with an arcade stick and buttons is something many of us may never have had the change to experience. Oddly enough for myself, it was the arcade game that I actually played before I ever saw the NES home version!
