    The guy playing this is triggering me, is it their first time playing Mario?

    Other than that, I wonder if Nintendo would have become less of a douchebag company if they released more on PC, or it was inevitable.

      The description says it was originally uploaded by John Romero. Not far in, you can see him kick the turtle shell into the block to get the power-up. It was not his first time playing the game. He seems to be showing how closely they replicated the functionality of SMB3 on the NES but in DOS, which was very impressive at the time and eventually became Commander Keen when they didn’t get the contract.

      How so? What are they doing wrong? They even fly in the first level to get the coins. Bear in mind this is a proof of concept not a speed run.
