C64 - Great Giana Sisters

[newyy1]

This totally reminds me of Battletoads!

[UserUnfriendly21]

That's some of the worst level design I've ever seen.

[AndNys81]

lol dude you sucks !! I played it better when I was 8.....

[lezzgetit]

this reminds me of something, oh yea sonic the hedge bros

[MattyStarfish]

Mario Bros. totally ripped this game off

[Mafon2]

i played in remake on DS. It's rather good.

[Ryusuta]

@Mafon2 I own the DS remake as well. It's probably the most fun platformer I've played for the system, well in line with its heritage. A shame it's released in such limited quantity, since I want other people to enjoy it, as well.

[ageshero]

IT would suck if you played this first before mario. haha.

[marcqb100]

magic game i love it so much....;)

[Foggen]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

[Diamantidis31]

This music is so peaceful!

[GiuseilMagno98]

And who is the princess, Luigi???

[voodoophoenix999]

@Y0ungsarg

No, the music's FREAKING EPIC!!!

[Turrican4D]

You are not a very good player.

[Noyore]

the music's...FUCKING AMAZING YOU IDIOT

[Y0ungsarg]

The music's... awful!

[JesseReagan]

I believe Nintendo forced the withdrawal of the game from sales soon after it's release , and it is easy to see why. An obvious Mario Bros rip off , and not just a slight one either.. Anyone that plays the first few seconds of this game would be reminded of SMB , right down to the coin (diamond) blocks , underground levels and projectile power up. Funnily enough the cover of the C64 version of this game reads " The brothers are history " .. I guess it all could be a coincidence?...

[realitymainperson]

what about level 31?

[lovenlightman]

Grate game for that time

[PigBeatable]

For all you haters out there mario is way better!!!!!!!

[Luciferminusone]

I LOVE the controls on this MUCH better then Mario. I do not know how to describe it but whenever I want to land on a certain spot I cannot do it in Mario but in Giana I can.

[AgesxsegA]

OH GOD THE MUSIC IS SOOO GOOOD.

[Eagleride]

Die Musik is einfach genial...

[homer4556]

they should put this up for download on the wii since nintendo did sue them lol

[kagehikochan]

check out the metal version of the intro by machinae supremacy!

[dahamati427]

ahh the great which came first game debate vs american and japanese games

[nacktmulll]

@dahamati427: its a german game...

[DerkaVideos]

I remember playing this game when I was six.... Is it just me or did Mario totally rip this game off?

[realitymainperson]

who mario?

[sysghost]

@DerkaVideos Actually Super Mario Bros was first, If I'm not totally wrong, Giana sisters where never "officially" released due to some copyright dispute with Nintendo back then.

The makers of Giana sisters somehow found a way out to get it out to the masses anyway. Not sure how though.

[nacktmulll]

@sysghost: the game was available in stores for some time... and after that people simply copied it :)

[sysghost]

@nacktmulll WHAT?... how did you... *umh*... *Ssssh!* Don't tell anyone!

[suspekt29]

I had this but my avatar looked like Mario

[wd40isgreat]

Why do I want to roll up a joint and enjoy's nature, by going for a stroll?

[rockett19990]

i love this game even if it is a super mario ripoff.

[NeoLightElectro]

@rockett19990 yeah, it's the best mario clone i've ever seen. so i give it amazing credit for being so good. sadly i can't play it on a C64- and i'm not getting an emulator... i'm gonna get it for the DS. :]

[realitymainperson]

not in this game.

[kralle7611]

@TheNintendofan7 nobody cares about that. its because he doesnt get all the gems and hidden stuff. my hand twitches to make the right moves.

[kralle7611]

the careless way you play this game makes me angry.

[realitymainperson]

who mario have who ripped off from?

[pitbohl]

push: SHIFT + W + A + Z =)

[Bulbasaur483]

@pitbohl Wtf?



[pitbohl]

@Bulbasaur483 That was a cheat for level-skipping in the game ;-)

[Bulbasaur483]

@pitbohl Oh... Sorry then :P

[Luciferminusone]

@pitbohl If only Super Mario had a level skipping code. :)

[thekrinker]

it's like super mario bros on meth

[MegaPoepdrol]

its a good game but mario bros is better and this shows the lack of inspiration from the guys at c64

[anonamatron]

The music is pretty goddamned awful.

[geldofpunk32]

Did they get sued for this? I know it isn' total copyright infringement but it's damn close.

[realitymainperson]

no.

[mangachris91]

ohh Giana Sisters, I love it;)

[elvirtnt]

R.I.P Armin Gessert

[n4m3z0r]

even the sound is better than cs cod mw... and bf together

[n4m3z0r]

no game of today can compare with this^^  just love it...

[pawel1818]

Snake, you know who that is?

You Kidding right its Mario

No Snake its Giana

Oh

[FlamingBat]

I wish they'd put this on the Virtual Console. I have a fairly new computer, but it doesn't run this game too well.

[Turrican4D]

@FlamingBat

You have to setup your emulator better!

"Virtual Console" is shit caompared to a true emulator.

[Neonpremesis2]

@Turrican4D Virtual Console games run through software emulation, but the VC itself is not an emulator. It's an online service. Guess you don't even know what an emulator is, much less a "true" emulator.

[Turrican4D]

@Neonpremesis2

Idiot? How dare you?!

You don't know nothing and with your comments about emulation you made a fool out of yourself.

[Neonpremesis2]

@Turrican4D I never used the word idiot in my post. I'd recommend improving your reading comprehension skills if you really couldn't grasp three simple sentences

More on-topic: Simply saying that someone is wrong without explaining WHY the person is wrong actually makes the one accuser look like a fool. As I said, the Virtual Console is an online service, not an emulator. If you can find an official statement or source from Nintendo saying otherwise, please share it and prove me wrong.

[CRASHISONLYGOODGAME]

way better tha mario

if you disagree you are gay

[FlamingBat]

@CRASHISONLYGOODGAME I'm gay for women!!

[Bulbasaur483]

@CRASHISONLYGOODGAME I dissagree.

[Henkboom1612]

Even Mario has a shitload more action than this, and that's surprising.

[TheSzlaszdot]

What the hell did the pineapple do anyway?

[TehLollero]

Super mario bros is sooo much better :S

[realitymainperson]

WHat's so fun about only 1 boss. & why is this game almost always compared to smb?

[TehLollero]

@realitymainperson Because this is clear rip-off

[realitymainperson]

they rip blue diamonds off from the dream world. what has it to do with the message you replied to?

[QuiteUnused]

I have it on good authority that Giana Michaels looks nothing like that...

[Ambrew11]

lol I used to play this while so many others were playing mario brothers :P

[CheapBeer09]

she looks like she is giving you an angry stare the whole time

[burnmehdown214]

What the....

SUPER MARIO BROS. PLAGIARIZED THIS!! MUST REPORT ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

[Kampy187]

lol this was such a bad copy ^^

[frubo]

the music used to really get me pumped...

[xNaXDy]

This game owned mario brothers, that's why nintendo took it down.

[rayosization]

esto es una mierda

[multihmx1]

@rayosization, claro esto es como los tenis "mike", los audifonos "sonia"o como el evento "TRIPLEMANIA" lo siento fanaticos de la AAA.

[GodsofPie]

Super Mario Brothers

Great Giana Sisters

Seriously?

[TheEVA03]

Yay, it's Super Mario Bros. ^^

Just whit Girls. From Germany, not Japan ^^!

Today, no publisher would trust more to copy a game so shamelessly xDDD.

[realitymainperson]

this game contains 2 bosses. the game you lie to claim this is only has the same boss, which kinda sucks. the niggergang called nintendo must've felt treat of it

[TheEVA03]

@realitymainperson There is an interview, admitted in one of the former developer, the "Great Giana Sisters" practically a C64-"variant" of "Super Mario Bros." is.

[realitymainperson]

wgat interview?

& what has it to do with what you relied on? I didn't write anything about an interview in my message you replied to. I wrote what the nintendo niggergang must've felt treat of & it's unconfirming what you say about being a clone. it's much greater.

[TheEVA03]

@realitymainperson Look on wikipedia. It's really a clone. And Nintendo is not a "niggergang". Big N is the Best! Without Nintendo there would probably be no more video games. After all, their slot machine "Donkey Kong" has saved the whole video game industry.

[realitymainperson]

this game contains bridges with crumble what you stand on them for seconds. the smb game has nothing of it. & it has (Like i already mentioned) 2 different bosses in same game. it really enriched my childhood feelings how the 2 bosses where distributed. the smb game repeats the same boss. so it's much more lively than smb. the evil niggergang nintendo couldn't handle the wonderful up building with the bosses weren't their idea, then they just uses their wealth & fame to get ra's idea down.

[realitymainperson]

what does "variant" mean?

[jfachris]

I don't see how this is remotely similar to super mario.

[hoques1432]

I don't know what sort of problem you have. Once upon a time, there was a small development team which enjoyed playing Mario and wanted to have a game like that on their C64s. And well, they "ported" it. I don't see what's wrong with that.

[ChildrenofAmory]

@hoques1432 There's a shock, you make rip off games, and fail to see the problem with other rip offs.

[realitymainperson]

it's not a port. there isn't even any named "mario" in this game.

[starbask]

Im gona rip this  game off and submit it to the app store

[SuperFarinelli]

skicz mi na gżiba

[SHUUNNNNN]

When she gets a... peppermint? she turns SSJ3. What the fuck?

[jcandjoshg]

Seems to be coded worse than SMB though.

[beyondthesevoices]

I had some kind of hacked version of this on my C64, it actually had mario in it.

[realitymainperson]

there're videos of it.

[brathurx]

of course it's a ripoff, but even better than the original!

[j2brother]

I dont know what just made me think of this.

[MrWikingr]

Is Super Mario a ripoff of this or is it the other way around?

[pantsstyle]

@MrWikingr no way dude

[realitymainperson]

super mario has nothing to do with this.

[Stianlolz]

@MrWikingr , its the other way around. I think Giana sisters came out long before Super Mario bros. Commodore 64 is older than Nintendo Entertainment system

[Jayday12345678910]

@Stianlolz just because a system is older than another doesnt mean that the game is

[101FIRE101]

@MrWikingr well lets see Super Mario Bros release date-1985, Great Giana Sisters date-1987

WE HAVE A WINNER!

[realitymainperson]

me

[realitymainperson]

of what?

[Holodoc76]

It's Giana Sisters, published by Rainbow Arts. Soundtrack made by Chris Huelsbeck. And like every game from them, it's genius.

[monarzl]

this amounts to animal cruelty

[realitymainperson]

no.

[2000aras]

pamietam jak sie w to dawno gralo. ale muzyka super ;]

[Gnomitolindo]

@2000aras aguante nen gmpalio fran non

[2000aras]

@Gnomitolindo Ricordo di aver svolto un lungo periodo di tempo. ma la musica è cool;]

Je me souviens comment il a joué un long moment. mais la musique est cool;]

[Gnomitolindo]

@2000aras cesi n'est pas une pipe

[greyhoundgill]

the game company admit that they made a spelling mistake on the title screen

[joebbi]

Check out the cloud sprite, then check out the bush sprite. Mind blown?

[Gnomitolindo]

@joebbi era conocida esa

[Gnomitolindo]

@joebbi encima no era acá, es en el mario

[taipan342]

I loved this game when I was a kid!!!....thanks for posting!

[drmonstaa63]

@taipan342 2 bad u shouldve playd smb :L

[taipan342]

@drmonstaa63 yeah man what id give to have a commodore 64 again

[rockett19990]

for a super mario brothers ripoff its a good game

[dudusmajorus]

Dirty bastards. Raping one of my earliest childhood memories.

[realitymainperson]

whO?

[allav866]

I gotta bug the Angry Video Game Nerd into reviewing this fucking piece of dog shit!

[EinDose]

Totally, 100% original. No plagiarism going on here, nosiree.

[m0nde]

@EinDose hillarious!

[MegaPoepdrol]

@EinDose the ds version is way better and it even contains this one

[BlueRhythm64]

I have this on ds and it's ADDICTIVE

[realitymainperson]

I don't think it exist on ds.

[migselv78]

no. it's just has a blue sky as background as well. Not only games but also cartoons & comics have it.

[polishslacker]

@TheSegacampGamer

wasnt this game before mario brothers? i remember playing it on comodore before the pegasus came out

[realitymainperson]

It wasn't out when I was born.

[realitymainperson]

But smb turns out being from 1985. But always remeber it's not our fault when we're born. But any who punish us for at are at fault for doing it.

[realitymainperson]

you can see it's not the same game as smb(it even has double as many different bosses). Otherwise you sight is very troubled.

[realitymainperson]

If we see smb we can see it's not the same game(=copy).

[anunnaki2006]

Do you know that the creator of this game I think his name was Rob was the cracker on the Atari ST for Hotline?

[MrProdigalKnight]

this seems familiar...

[Jeffrizel1986]

I see why Nintendo sued them.... This is basically Super Mario with MINOR changes and tweaks...

[migselv78]

I don't even know any game with the exact name "super mario". In know many games containing it, however.

[migselv78]

It's not any game(i know) with any changes it's a game on it's own.

[1xWertzui]

I was currently playing the game and I found a spot on stage 22 where is impossible to get through.

[nimicmo]

quite obvious that the super mario series was pretty much influenced by giana sisters

[Jeffrizel1986]

@nimicmo Umm it's the other way around sir.... The Giana Sisters were influenced by the Super mario brothers

[migselv78]

about 99% of all mario games came after this sucker. Smb was the last before this. at least smb2 is newer than this.

[migselv78]

about 99% of all mario games came after this, sucker. Smb was the last before this. at least smb2 is newer than this.

[Jeffrizel1986]

@migselv78 But Super Mario Bros came out in 1985 and The Giana Sisters came out in 1987.. so who's copying someone?

[migselv78]

all copy in any kind of way.

The red shields in mario kart games are copies of double light from tggs(following the closest enemy).

Warioware inc game "crazy cars" is similar to when you reach the cockrach in tggs.

[migselv78]

Mario bros. themself look much like serves from disney's lady & the tramp.

mario kart games themself are copys of all kind of racing games before super mario kart(like pitstop games.

for the matter all kind of mario sport games are copies of the sports themself.

[migselv78]

wario land has a level with some coin thieves hiding in the sand. looke very much like when we can see watches in tggs when ther'e hided in blocks.

[migselv78]

smb2 copied tggs in having a watch to stop enemys moving for some time.

[migselv78]

the story in smb2 is also kinda copied from tggs. It takes place in mario's dream like tggs takes place in giana sisters' dream.

[migselv78]

what's doki doki panic. whatevert it's, since it's smb it's kept being claimed to copy off everything in this game which smb doesn't must by me be registrered as original...kind of well...

[migselv78]

& what does it have to do with this video? Why did you mention the game? As far as i read it's simply the japanese version of smb2...& so what?

[realitymainperson]

at least supermario64. I has both red & blue coins, like this game has red(amiga) & blue diamonds.

[Vickyboss987]

my name is giana

[0kti78]

niezliczone ilości godzin spędzone na tej grze

[darkgamer32111]

This game is not a girl's game if it has dragons, spikes, fire, balls, r the fact that the NDS version has Owls screaming in pain :D

[TVNpictures]

@darkgamer32111 lol .....

[delli2011]

they have the remixed version on itouch/iphone

[Mrxdyuxd]

The music of this game makes me cry.

[Mrxdyuxd]

@migselv78 Is so fucking bad.

[michi4132]

nächteeeeeeelang gezockt,,,geniales game :)))

[NeilRoy65]

I miss those days. I remember someone hacked this game and replaced the main character with Mario. There's something about C64 music I loved. :)

[bowe6420]

A rip off of mario, but its pretty good though
