Nintendo has an unprecedented track record for
quality games and hardware in the industry, dont
know how anyone could not like them. "Giana Sisters"
was an attempt to clone "SuperMario Bros." on
several computer platforms, since Nintendo did not
produce games for computers. They were sued and
withdrew "Giana" from market, it still became
popular amongst computer users through widespread
"piracy" of the title. Giana sisters never really
competed with SMB in my opinion though, since it
lacked the physics and control, Mario could speed
up while the button was held and had real inertia
etc. that Giana sisters did not capture. In fact
one of the things nearly every platform style game
on computer systems lacked was that perfect control
and feel of inertia that Mario could capture...
Now off to play: "Zelda: The Wind Waker." and
"Ikaruga"
