Im not old enough to have been around, but did anyone ever care about your score in SMB? Like were kids sitting around the NES trying to get a higher score than their friends
I wouldn't doubt there were people comparing scores but in my experience we just swapped stories about what we were doing and what we were playing. The hot gossip was always Easter eggs and secret areas/powerups.
The first time hitting an invisible block and finding a power-up in Mario or laying a bomb down and finding a whole hidden area in Metroid was mindblowing as a kid
