Yes, that is exactly right, with a 32 x 24 colour attribute grid (hence the perennial problem with colour clash). Over to you!

Ah, the early years of computers, a time when everyone was just flinging stuff against the wall to see what would stick.

One that stuck, and would stick for decades, and become one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world, probably even comparable to Mickey Mouse, was Mario. Or, rather, Super Mario!

However, Mario didn't start out as a main character in a game, he was actually a spin-off from a then more famous and successful character's game.

What was the name of the game where Mario first saw light of day?

That was going to be my next question you fiend!

Will get back to you later with a question.

42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. But sadly not to this question.

90 is closer but not right.

There are 72 levels but several levels have more than one exit.
