If this particular version of the game is 16 colors, it should be identified as Mario Brothers EGA, as the EGA graphics system contained 16 colors; VGA had 256 colors.

Colors have absolutly nothing to do with VGA or EGA. Just looking at the screenshot it's quite obvious that EGA can't manage to bring so much details into a screen... <_<

Ya I just started this member thing so bare with me...
I was wondering how you switch it to two player? Do I need a joystick because I'm pressing P but it won't switch?! Will DosBox work?

? Really? I'm not quesitoning you had a C64 version, ut was an arcade game so there was probably a port. I'm not sure about it being rare, tho. Again, it's an arcade game.

I'm not sure about the publisher either. But I owned this one on c64, too. In fact I didn't no that there was a PC version of it.
Something completely different: How can it be that Giana Sisters were pulled over the coals whilst one never hears something about this one? Has it to do with its rareness?

I do remember playing this game for hours and hours with my very old Atari system... I liked playing two players with my brother and my father back in the (very young) days.
