73. Super Mario Bros. (pjbasis)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7t8w2K9WF4


Another YouTube video, but when it comes to hilarious Mario 1 stuff, that was the first thing that came to mind. It's a Board 8 classic. Anyway, Mario 1 is a game that needs no introduction or explanation, and I can't say anything about it that probably hasn't already been said before. As such, I'm not going to attempt some hackneyed review or talk at length about how this is the first video game I ever played (which is true) since that's not a unique experience for people my age. I played this game a bunch, but I probably haven't beaten it that many times. There was no real pressure or compulsion to do so for whatever the reason. I could play until I ran out of lives a few times and be fine with that. I do remember when I got a little older, I wanted to beat the game without using any Warp Pipes. It took a while, but it felt like a pretty big accomplishment when I finally pulled it off.

It was pretty difficult to nail down exactly where to rank Mario 1 on this list because it's always been a part of my life (as weird as that is to say). A lot of my knowledge of its secrets and tricks feels like second nature or common sense, like it's stuff I've just always known. I haven't played the game in years, but I feel like I could manage to remember most of them. I'm not sure how much of my love for it is just nostalgia. You never forget your first time and all that. I wouldn't quibble with anyone who would rank it higher than this because you're not going to hear me say a bad thing about Mario 1.

Bonus Question: What was the first video game you ever played?
