New series starting today! Best and worst game I own from every year, one year a day, beginning with 1985. Best: Super Mario Bros. (NES) Worst: Pinball (NES) Super Mario Bros. is the easy one and it's still the right one. Everything after it was built out of pieces from this game. Pinball is one table, one ball, no ramps, no multiball. You bump it around and then it drains. The bonus stage where Mario catches a girl on a trampoline is the most interesting thing in the cart, and it's a minigame. What are your picks for 1985?
