Super Mario Land Invades Eee PC

Chris must be a pretty big fan of Super Mario Land on the Game Boy that he actually took the trouble to laser-etch every single level of that game in sequence across his Eee PC. According to Chris, “Last night I laser-etched the top of my Eee PC with the complete level maps of Super Mario Land (on the Game Boy). Everything from the familiar layouts of 1-1 to the climactic battle with Tatanga in the clouds at the end of 4-3 is represented in the etching. This was made possible with the laser cutter at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn, where you can go to get your laptop etched too! I set the laser in raster mode at 70% speed and 40% power to achieve this look.” Now this is one Eee PC that’s truly unique – see if you can find it anywhere else in the world! I loved Super Mario Land – do you remember playing it through once, followed by the harder version by starting a new game immediately after completing it? Those were the days…
