Super Line Rider: Move over, Mario
It isn’t as exciting as Super Mario Brothers, since you really can’t do much in the Super Mario Brothers game world with a guy on a sled, but it’s the next best thing to actually playing Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo Entertainment System. No, the Lego version of Super Mario Brothers doesn’t count since it’s not playable.
But what the heck is a Line Rider?
Line Rider is a physics Internet game. Versions are available for Microsoft Silverlight and for Flash. It was originally created in September 2006 by Boštjan Čadež (also known as “fšk”), a Slovenian university student. Originally appearing on DeviantArt on September 23, 2006, Line Rider quickly became an Internet phenomenon.
Line Rider has been featured by several websites, such as Yahoo!, and Time Magazine’s website. Line Rider was also selected by staff and voted by users as the Best Webtoy of 2006 in the Jay is Games polls. A two-page article about the game was published in Games for Windows: The Official Magazine.
