As we wait for Mario 2022 on the big srceen let´s go back to the 1980s. When Mario was released it was the beginning of a classic and very long franchise along with VG names like the Sega rival Sonic. There was no Worldwide internet in the 1980s, so you had to buy magazines to find the cheats. Unless you was a tech wizard that knew about Worldwide web, or could communicate via C64 crack tapes. Decades passed as Mario got tons of games from DS to Switch.
