How can I get Super Mario Bros game?

porter392 · 02-22-03, 01:20 AM

I downloaded Pocketnester and as I uderstand it, I should be able to play games on my AXIM now. But where do I do to get games such as Super Mario Brothers? I have been using Google to search and I just can't find what I am looking for. Can anyone give me some links or advice here?

Thanks,
Porter

I did a search on google for nes roms and found more than I can shake a stick at, just dont click on the first find

www.freeroms.com

its an endless blackhole of pop ups the only way I was able to stop the madness was with a pop up blocker or by hitting alt + F4
:(

if you read the rules of this board, I dont think anybody here is going to give you roms, its against the rules.

Well I guess you can always try and 'request' -- and someone might PM you or something.

Free-roms.com wasn't always like this. It used to be a true rom site where one could get all the roms listed. But now for some uncertain reason they are no longer doing that.

There are not many places anymore that have roms on them anymore.

Lots more copyright notices are going out to people that have them on their sites.

Why are they so tight about old roms anyway? It's not like they're losing money over ppl playing super mario bro v.1! IMHO, its good PR to have people play with your old products, so that they'll remember your stuff and buy your new stuff; and for those too young to know about said products, they'll get a glimpse of the history of what they're playing now.

If they still own the copyright to it, they can still profit from it.

Or someone has bought out the company that originally owned it, then it was sold to another. And sometimes another.

As long as there is a chance that they can resell it, it seems that they not want it out there on the web.

you dont have to dig very far on google to get roms. Especially if all you are looking for is the standards such as super mario.

I did a search for "nes roms" on google and found at least 8 sites that had roms.

This is ok so far, but DON'T post any links to any sites with illegal roms. If so, I'll delete it or close the thread.
