October 31st: Super Mario Bros. (The Original!)
This contest is inspired by a real life discussion between two Nintendo enthusiasts we met at E3. In what had to be their most famous conversation, they compared how many games both of them had played that featured a father and his son (Mario, Donkey Kong etc.) in the role of protagonist. After some deliberation they settled on Super Mario Bros.
Pacman’s History
Created by Toru Iwatani in 1980 and first released in Japan as ‘Punch Legend’ (パンチライブ) and in the United States as ‘Pac-Man’ (パックマン). The original arcade game failed, but many clones and ports of the game were created. It was popular enough for a sequel!
Released on October 29th, 1980 for the Japan.

How to play
In the left column, players must make a list of our picks for the 37 best websites to learn something new. In the right column, we must write an introduction for each website’s section that explains what it is about and what makes it so good (use quotes from the site as necessary). Each entry should be limited to one per post. Alternative you can also enjoy on playfh.
Requirements
– Limit of five submissions per player on this one.
– Must include at least three websites that are not being submitted by other players.
– Languages allowed are English and French only.
– Must provide a link to your contribution page using the following format: [POST TITLE REDACTED] – [YOUR NAME REDACTED].
Winning Tips
– Do not name your submission until you have finished, so that other players do not steal your ideas.
– Give a reason why your submission is the best. If a website has multiple submissions, it is still important to give any extra information.
– Include [Honorable Mention] and [Runner Up] as well as the previous years’ winners due to their importance.
– Submit slowly, or risk not getting picked for another year.
– We encourage striking up conversations about this with other members of Journalism Club (for example, on in the comments section).
– If you are asked to submit something, try to do it as quickly as possible. Some of us won’t want to be the one who forgets to get your submission in.
– Do not spam other players on your submission page with advertisements. It will get you nowhere and disrespects the work done by others who submitted legitimate content.
