Brother Adventure

Brother Adventure is an unlicensed port of Mario Bros., which uses music from Dig Dug for some reason. The Mario on the title screen is taken from the cover from Golf: Japan Course.

It's also known for being the first game developed entirely by Zemina, who would go on to create more unlicensed ports for the MSX, and later, the Sega Master System.

Developer Credits#

Offset 0x10 of the game's ROM data contains a build date and a set of programmer credits. Both of them are also credited in the title screen upon starting a game.
