ZandraJoi Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Another game from Nintendo back in the day. Same with Tetris, I was hooked on it. I remember playing it for hours, with breaks of course. Since there was no code generated to save where we left off, we had to keep it on. My husband & I both got to quite high of scores. Who has played this game? What newer game would be similar to Dr. Mario now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I played the Dr. Mario released on smartphones, but I fail to remember how similar it is to the original. Seems like a good "reverse Tetris," but not I don't think I could cope with the reduced time for placing blocks, or rather, antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Oddly enough, with my hatred of tetris, I actually enjoy Dr. Mario a lot. I guess because it's different just enough. I still play it when I hook up my NES. Right now I have my SNES hooked up, but I'm planning to swap it out pretty quick. Either NES or N64. Haven't decided which yet.

Shole Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I never played it, and it seems people say it's like opposite of tetris in this thread? I mean is it fun to play it now or is it just meh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It's fun, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, it's not really that fun in my opinion but I think it tried to be rated at least 6/10 based on my evaluation. What rating would you give it?

The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I couldn't give it anything higher than that. Actually, to be honest, I don't even think I would go that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, they need to do something to beef up the game but I think it's too late for that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Being that it was an NES game, it's about 35 years too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too long for anything to happen and matter towards it because there are lots of games now that people are way addicted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I never played the original Dr. Mario games so I have no idea how true the gameplay is to it's roots but I think they work for what they are. They throw plenty of new mechanics in there the farther you get so it doesn't get stale. It's cute to have a puzzle game that is filled with iconic Nintendo characters but that's all there really is to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't miss anything by not playing it seriously believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
