You're going to have to decide on an exact time and stick to it, otherwise it won't work.

Why the delay?

Could we just start at 10 and you can join us when you're ready?

I'm tired and old. I can't stay up late like you guys.

Ok, I'll give the final Go message at 10pm.

I have a feeling no one is actually around and I'll end up being the only one participating.

I had a terrible game. First, I tried going too fast and got a game over in world 3.

So I started from scratch and took my sweet time.

On to Mario 2, which I can't beat. I'll just see how far I get.

I finished Super Mario Bros. A little more sloppy than my usual runs, but I managed to pull it off.

And did anyone make it as far as SMB3?

I missed it too, I would have joined in. Damn time zones screwed it up. I probably wouldn't have been able to finish Mario 2 anyway :oops:
We could make this a more regular kind of thing, but more notice would be nicer in the future.

This was a really good idea. Too bad I'm such an old fart and am usually in bed by 10 PM... :(
I can't believe the number of people that can't beat Super Mario 2! Try, try again...the ending is worth it.

I got to world 5-1 before losing all my lives. I didn't play Mario Bros 3 cause my copy is so crapping, I couldn't get it working. I really need to get a good copy.

Wait, all these people who can't beat Super Mario Bros 2 - Are we talking about the U.S. or Japanese version? If it's the Japanese version, then I certainly understand. If it's the U.S. version, then I'm really quite baffled.

I don't think it's a matter of not knowing 'how' to beat it, but rather just being so out of practice that we usually get a game over.

I haven't played that game since I was 12 or so, so I'm terrible at it. And it's controls are completely different from every other Mario, so it's not like you can just jump in and kick some ass.
