.....It isn't.

If you think this is the actual SMB scaled down then you're wrong.

As she said, it's BASED off of mario. It isn't mario.]]>Mar 12th 2010 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/carnegie-mellon-student-shows-that-64-pixels-is-enough-for-mario/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/carnegie-mellon-student-shows-that-64-pixels-is-enough-for-mario/
Nes: 1.66 mhz, 2kb ram
Arduino (ATMega 328): 16mhz, 32kb ram

Not to mention that the Arduino contains a boot-loader. So IMHO, less is more doesn't apply here. Sure, the DIY part is cool, but to say that this was a difficult feat isn't very accurate...]]>Mar 12th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/carnegie-mellon-student-shows-that-64-pixels-is-enough-for-mario/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/carnegie-mellon-student-shows-that-64-pixels-is-enough-for-mario/

Reminds me of the adage, "those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." And don't even get me started on Merlin.

I guess I'm at that awkward age between "you kids don't know how good you got it!" and "you kids get off my lawn!" =-)
