Remembering Mario and Luigi's Sisters

The Great Giana Sisters was a platform game for the Atari and Commodore systems. It was an awesome platform game, but what made it awesome was also its downfall. Why? because of it's similarity to Nintendo's most famous game. Despite the threat of lawsuit from nintendo and its eventual withdrawal from the market, the game enjoys a cult following. The game makers even boldly added the tag line:"The brothers are history."
