Mario Forever

Post by eMTe »

Great fanmade Mario clone (one of the best available) and very faithful to the original what is sometimes very important for Mario fans.

Cons:
Reviews Ive found say that game comes with the mandatory browser toolbar which can't be uninstalled without uninstalling the whole game. Ive downloaded MF some time ago and I dont remember any toolbar, so maybe it's some newest version.

I've downloaded that game about a week ago :) I can spend quite a lot of time playing it ;)
About that toolbar. It is installed, but it workes only with IE I suppose. There's no toolbar on firefox window.

I seem to recall a game that Pridy had some issues with. As far as I remember it was a mario clone, and there were some issues with that game... Could this be that one? Have anybody made it to level 4 yet, and passed it? I seem to recall that was the turning point.

So actually this might be that very same game. I will divert Pridys attention to this thread.

I think it was JKSM who had all the info on this game, not sure about that though.

I do remember seeing something about the creator feeling very peeved off that it was stolen, and the thieves were charging money for it, so he released his own free version.

Will try and find the thread on OG about this, and post the link.

Yes that was the one. Could you please look into wether this game is the original or the stolen one eMTe. I don't have the time right now, but wouldn't it be a good idea to get a hold of the original creator and then offering his game here???

The link I gave comes from buziol games page, the only problem is that I dont remember if I downloaded MF from there... I asked about this problem on mario forum.

The game mentioned by eMTe, Mario Forever is different from the one that I mentioned on OG, Mario & Luigi. Both are freeware. There are many Mario clones out there. Mario Forever is created using Multimedia Fusion while Mario & Luigi is created using Turbo Pacal.

For Mario Forever, long ago I've only tried a little but haven't long played long enough to see what errors it has.

Game creation softwares made by the clickteam (Klick N Play, The Games Factory & Multimedia Fusion) are user friendly, with drag and drop interface and no programming knowledge is required to use it. Years back, I love using their software to create games. However, the cons of their software is that the end created product has a huge file size many times larger than a game written using a programming language. Another problem is that to use the software or play the game created by the software, one's PC need to have a certain amount of memory (RAM) and certain dlls that come with the software. I have ever given friends some things that I created or tried on another PC and found such error messages occurring. Conclusion: I love using The Clickteam software for game creation :) but the created game may not be compatible with a number of PCs due to hardware requirement. :( Thus, I would not be surprised if anyone would find error messages popping up when playing games created by using the clickteam software.

The game was never accepted due to it being installed with a toolbar installation that the game was dependant of. So we consider it to be adware or similar, and devided we wouldn't host it. However there are other versions as eMTe describes in his first post.
