It has come to my attention that people seem to have regarded the {{ | It has come to my attention that people seem to have regarded the {{w|Atari 8-bit family|Atari 8-bit}} port (Atari 400/800, Atari XL systems, Atari XE, etc) of ''Mario Bros.'' as the same thing as the port for the Atari 5200. [https://youtu.be/VDpmMaVbXyw?si=Ad9AEpqRwSzZGOID It's not the same thing]. I think the idea of the two versions being the same stemmed from the fact that there was going to be an Atari 8-bit port released in 1984 that was based on the 5200 version, but that one was ''never released'', and, as far as I can tell, unlike the Apple II and Commodore 64 versions by Atarisoft, ''never leaked'' either; the Atari 8-bit port that was ''actually released'' in 1988 was based closer on the arcade version, and for instance features [[Icicle]]s, which the 5200 port doesn't have. | ||
But my point is, because certain parts of this wiki has treated the Atari 8-bit version as the same thing as the Atari 5200 version, that means we basically ''don't have a single image or sprite of the Atari 8-bit port that actually was released in 1988''. And as far as I can tell, no one has actually ripped sprites for the game either (and looking for the Atari 8-bit version on the internet will show you results of not only the released 1988 version, but ''also'' the 5200 port due to the aforementioned confusion). So I was wondering if someone could help on this issue: find a rom of the 1988 Atari 8-bit port and an emulator, rip some sprites, take some screenshots and upload them here. {{User:Arend/sig}} 07:42, March 31, 2024 (EDT) | But my point is, because certain parts of this wiki has treated the Atari 8-bit version as the same thing as the Atari 5200 version, that means we basically ''don't have a single image or sprite of the Atari 8-bit port that actually was released in 1988''.
