If you didn’t already know then you might be surprised to learn that Doom creators ID Software created their very own Super Mario Bros 3 demo on the PC. The demo was created to entice Nintendo to bring the game to the PC. Obviously this never happened and instead the project turned into Commander Keen. This is the very first time we’ve seen footage of the PC build of the game created by John Carmack and John Romero and you can check it out, below
This is a demo of IFD’s (soon to be id Software) Super Mario 3 demo created for Nintendo on the PC. The demo was completed on September 28, 1990.
Runs like crap lol can’t beat the originals! ;)
….it’s pre alpha footage
i know, was just a joke
I do like my Wii U but sometimes I think Nintendo could do better on PC.
They could still create all the hardware they like as peripherals and not be limited by other parts of the hardware for their game’s performance
lawsuit incomming
Not really, this was made long ago, when Nintendo was making Mario Bros 3, Nintendo shot it down back then.
Except if there’s no money involved (since it’s a demo), there’s no need to sue money. Cease and desist is most likely.
Doesn’t really matter Nintendo has the right to shut it down anyway.
That looks…awful…and sounds terrible lol.
You have emulators the games are already on PC. Jesus Christ I mean really.
This was long ago, before emulators. Jesus Christ did you even read the article?
THIS GOES FAR FAR FAR FURTHER DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF INDUSTRY VS NINTENDO
THIS INDUSTRY HATES NINTENDO THIS WAS NOT ID HOPING TO BRING NINTENDO OVER IT WAS THE USA COMPUTER INDUSTRY TRYING TO STOP NINTENDO
IT WAS ALSO A EXAMPLE OF HOW FAR BEHIND PC WAS TO DEDICATED CONSOLE TECH
NES RAN IT FINE PC COULDNT RUN SHIT MORE AND MORE POWER AND NORE AND MORE ADD ON CARDS WERE NEEDED TO ALLOW PC TO RUN CONSOLE GAMES
THIS IS THE INDUSTRYS EARLY “””NINTENDO MUST GO THIRD PARTY HATE CAMPAIN
WITCH STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY….WHY CAN PEOPLE NOT SEE THE TRUTH WAKE UP
Was it really that necessary to use All Caps for that message? A bit excessive, don’t you think?
it took ID years and years of coding and ever increasing power on pc to try and match a nes like console TGE IDEA PC WAS ALWAYS AHEAD IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT….
PC COULDNT DO SOUND PC COULDNT DO GRAPHICS PC COULDNT DO CONTROL
A DEDICATED SYSTEM WILL ALWAYS BE CLOCK FOR CLOCK MEG FOR MEG MUCH FASTER THAN A PC…
IT WAS NINTENDO AND CONSOLE THAT GAVE US CONTROLLER EVOLUTION TOO
PC FANS ARE LIEING BASTARDS WGEN IT COMES TO THIS HISTORY
Again, Don’t see the reason for All Caps. Kinda inappropriate.
