Mario Bros. Special (MZ-2200)
The following is a pirate disk that contains various copied games all compiled into a menu made with “Take-DOS 2000” in 1984.
The most interesting game on the disk is Mario Bros. Special by Hudson Soft. In 1984, Hudson and Nintendo teamed up to release various Famicom games across a range of Japanese computers. They ported games such Ice Climbers, Excitebike, and more. However, they did introduce some of their own creative liberties for Mario Bros, hence why they made it an entirely new game. Instead of having the same repeating stage in each level, there are three unique levels which are not found within the original game. Each level has it’s own “gimmick” to it, such as pulling levers and bouncing on trampolines.
The second game by Hudson Soft found within the disk is a copy of Mahjong.
Other games on the disk include “Cloud Kingdom” and another version of Mahjong (both by Unison World), and a homemade clone of Puck-Man.
