Was Super Mario All Stars the first Remaster?
rygar:
I definitely agree that they were presented as sequels, but I think they might conceptually fit better as remasters, and I didn’t want to rely too heavily on the marketing semantics. I agree that the music and movie examples show why the gaming analogue is a bit murky. With those mediums it’s really about enhancing the sensual experience of the consumer using the same base line content. Games usually add content, sometimes significant amounts. I think the differences between Space Invaders/Deluxe Space Invaders, Pac Man/Pac Man Plus, Breakout/Super Breakout are relatively minimal from a core content perspective, but I’d need to explore Super Mario Brothers Deluxe (and quite frankly, play those cabinets again) to really do a comparison. I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but I wanted to offer earlier alternatives for the OP to consider.
Mop it up:
Looking through the thread, Super Mario All-Stars wasn't the first, but it was and still is one of the best! Too bad we don't still get awesome collections like that very often.
