It’s me, Mario!
January 22nd, 2010 by Dave@LGUK
The single greatest Christmas present I ever received was my NES games console. It is safe to say I probably wouldn’t be writing a technology blog today if Santa hadn’t made me so happy I threw up on the dog when he left me a Nintendo Entertainment System under my Christmas tree. I loved that console… I miss it; I’m getting nostalgic thinking about the hours I spent playing my favourite games. Digger T-Rock, Duck Hunt, Mega Man, Double Dragon and Tetris to name but a few. But undoubtedly the biggest impact of the NES was the emergence of the most unlikely of heroes, Mario! Who would have thought that a short, fat plumber with a moustache to rival Magnum PI would inspire over 200 games with the original Super Mario Bros. game selling a staggering 40.24 million copies?
If you are anything like me and the thought of Super Mario makes you warm and fuzzy inside then it is your lucky day, as the good people at knowyourmobile.com have made a Mario theme for the LG Arena KM900. It is easily downloaded from their site and works as a series of wallpapers allowing your phone to transform into a Mario themed bundle of telephonic joy guaranteed to make even Bowser break into a smile. As if that wasn’t enough you also get a ringtone of the original 1985 music that will ingrain itself in your head for days, in fact I’ve just realised I’m humming it now…
