Faves for this Web page

Ran into this game when I was looking at a site of old Commodore 64 games. It looked almost exactly like Super Mario Brothers, so I wanted to figure out what was up...
Quoted: With a tag-line of 'The brothers are history!', Rainbow Arts was less than subtle in addressing the striking similarities between the two titles. I mean, take the game's friggin' name: The Great (Super) Giana (Mario) Sisters (Bros). They might as well have called it Screw You Nintendo, We Stole Your Stupid Game. But what really got Nintendo's attention was that this copycat game didn't actually suck; instead of fading away into video game obscurity, Giana Sisters was released to very favourable reviews and it began to sell quite well.
