Super Mario Brothers - Before they were Super!

I found this advetisement in an X-Men comic book I was reading tonight (#187) from 1983 and it brought a huge smile to my face.
Long before they made their debut on the NES Mario and Luigi were just simple plumbers in this classic Atari 2600 video game.  Challenged by the nefarious turtles, crabs and flying thingies...I vaguely remember playing this title a few years after it was released, after I had gotten hooked on Super Mario Brothers for the NES.  I disticntly remember my younger self being like...wow this game is crap!  Now I look back on it and appreciate it for everything that it started.  Ah nostalgia...to think...this was 30 years ago!
