ZandraJoi Posted July 7, 2021 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?
Withywarlock Posted July 7, 2021 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.
The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 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 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?
The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 It's fun, but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece.

The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 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.

The Blackangel Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Being that it was an NES game, it's about 35 years too late.

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.
Empire Posted July 9, 2021 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.

You didn't miss anything by not playing it seriously believe me.
