I also have this, which was never opened, but it doesn’t have shrink wrap. Because it was a review copy. Sent to a magazine.

The Atari Home Computer version in the ad had me convinced it was the 2600 version. Even so, it wasn't far off! This ad was one of the first I remember seeing where they were like, you know what? It's so good lets just show the game.

I’m excited for the crazy bad video game movie ideas studios will act on should Super Mario Bros. The Movie be a big success. I can’t wait to debate casting choices for Bubsy and Gex. I mean- Dana Gould is still alive, Man! Give him the gig!

There is quite a bit of information to unpack in this single issue of DARE… or DARF… whatever it is.

Ten years ago my daughter played Donkey Kong her way: As Pauline saving Mario. It is also Mario Day, too (Mar10). 10 YEARS ago! My best hack - Being called "Donkey Kong Dad" isn't too shabby. (Thx for reminder)
