<p>Classic Nintendo memorabilia is increasingly hard to come by nowadays. On the digital front, it’s much the same, with classic wallpapers and screensavers somewhat a thing of the past.</p>
<p>If you are in need of a digital retro fix, Nintendo preservation specialist “<a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/forestillusion?lang=en">The Forest of Illusion</a>” has uploaded a lovely Japanese Super Mario Collection screensaver set to the internet archive, with the help of a <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/RockLeeVk">few others</a>. This set was originally released by Nintendo as a CD-ROM for Microsoft Windows in 1997 and contains a total of six screensavers. Take a look at the original CD case and disc in the above and below photos.</p>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Mario 2" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/39e5c811e1a90/mario-2.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/39e5c811e1a90/mario-2.900x.jpg" alt="Mario 2" /></a></figure>
<figure class="picture strip"><a title="Mario 3" href="http://images.nintendolife.com/b2bc449026d43/mario-3.original.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/b2bc449026d43/mario-3.900x.jpg" alt="Mario 3" /></a></figure>
<p>In addition to screensavers, which you can see for yourself over on the <a class="external" href="https://archive.org/details/1997YutakaSuperMarioCollectionScreensaver">internet archive</a>, wallpapers and programs have also been uploaded. These include Mario themed calculators and clocks. The downside is these particular programs only work properly with a Japanese version of Windows 3.1, 95 or Windows 98. For the majority of readers that likely don’t have one of these older computers, check out the photos below:</p>
