Mario Bros ---------- Mario Bros from Nintendo for your home computer... from the arcade original featuring fireballs, sidestepper, shellcreeper and fighterfly. Flip those pests and kick 'em off the pipes, but don't loose your footing on those slippery floors. Plays as a team or against each other, either way you're in for a scream with Mario and Luigi - the Mario Bros. The most addictive game - the tension builds as you fight off more and more of the pesky varmints and stand your ground or jump from pipe to pipe keeping one step ahead of your pursuers. Fast comic fun with loads of hidden features and unexpected hiccups. Fast comic fun with loads of hidden features and unexpected hiccups. NOTE If using joystick in Port Two.
