Number Munchers on the Apple ][ GS

I don't know that that really scales as a hit the same size as the Mario games. Ancient computer games didn't have anything like your average console user base.

The Mario math game wasn't much fun at all... there have definitely been Mario games that weren't huge hits. I don't think a math game applies, though, since you know going in that it's not going to be a top seller because it's a math game. I think part of the Mario mystique is that he is so inherently Nintendo. Pac Man was a 2600 blockbuster but it wasn't even an Atari property. Mario has tons of great games but he also constantly appears in other games throughout gaming history - including arcade games. He is more than a game character, he is the main mascot for the industry leader.
