--- Quote ---As with many older arcade games, it is not clear exactly when this game was released; while the arcade boards themselves are stamped "1985,"[6] the Killer List of Video Games and the MAME game listing list the game as having been released in 1986.[7][8]

Anybody else remember it that way?  At least in my neighborhood, that was the big deal about the NES:  It played Super Mario just like the arcade.  We were already pumping quarters into the thing when the NES appeared.

Yep, that's how I remember it too.  I remember getting the NES home and my girlfriend marvelling about how great the graphics on it were.
