I was thinking over this today and was wondering if SMB is the Beatles, then was Donkey Kong like Chuck Berry? And then with the Beethoven analogy, I got to thinking in 100 years from now when someone inevitably remakes a Clockwork Orange would Alex’s beloved Ludwig Van be replaced by Miyamoto and have a huge Mario poster on his wall. And pick up chicks while browsing a retro game store? And go through violence aversion therapy while being forced to watch Super Mario World? Ok my imagination is getting carried away. Anyway sure I could see the Beethoven analogy as well but it would probrably be lost on those not versed in Classical music.
