Super Mario Brothers Crossover

I just want to briefly share with you a game I've come across. I've seen/read a couple different reviewers reviewing this game. It's called Super Mario Bros. Crossover, and it's a must-play for any fan of the original NES. It's the full game of Super Mario Bros. but with a twist. You can now play as seven different characters, with possibly more on the way. You can play through the game as Mario, Ryu Hyabusa (Ninja Gaiden), Mega Man, Link (The Legend of Zelda), Bill Rizer (Contra), Simon Belmont (Castlevania), or Samus Aran (Metroid). Add to that five difficulty levels and a number of other gems and you've got yourself a winner. Rather than tell you anything more about it, I'd urge you to go try it out for yourself: http://supermariobroscrossover.com/

Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper

In the last week we lost two icons in the field of acting, Gary Coleman (who was 42) and Dennis Hopper (was was 74).

I remember watching Gary Coleman on Diff'rent Strokes when I was a kid. He played numerous roles as a guest star on many different shows. One that I remember fondly was a guest role he had on the short-lived science fiction sitcom Homeboys in Outer Space.

Dennis Hopper, on the other hand, I'll always remember as Bowser from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie. I know many people hated the movie and consider it one of the worst movies ever made. But truthfully, I kind of like it. And you have to admit, the acting was superb in that movie. They had big names filling the roles, and Dennis Hopper was no exception.

That being said, hey, I've got a follower. Welcome to the blog, "windbag," and I hope you enjoy reading my entries. Feel free to leave responses once in a while.
