Sometime over the summer of last year, someone donated a box of old media to The Strong National Museum of Play, a curator of interactive entertainment based in Rochester, New York. But a newly-reported find of a retro NES classic hints at the PC-based Mario mania that might have been - all thanks to the recent discovery of a demo version of Super Mario Bros.


From Mario to Link to Samus, Nintendo has mostly kept its biggest names at home on its native console hardware over the years.
