This isn't news. This is a fake - a recreation.

In my opinion, yes, not real. Not sure what that is, but a game from 1981 would not have over 10 megabytes of data on a PCB. Peppering random names and words into files doesn't make it a game.

Totally fake. If it weren't, you'd get banned for posting a link to a ROM :P

Myth busted by public records from the Czech Republic new [Re: Tafoid]

Easy enough to at least debunk Steve Roach's story... I checked Department of Information Technology
Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic for the company name Sinneschlossen and Sinnesloschen (Steve changed how he spelled it from one post to the next). Never existed.

So Steve Roach's story is contradicted by the public record. I see no reason to pursue vailidating his other details.

I thought the game never made it beyond a bare prototype in the lab? Who but maybe five or ten people saw it?



Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally.

i agree with tafoid. way too expensive also.



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms
