This game was indeed the official port of Mario Bros. Unlike most Atarisoft 
games, Mario Bros. didn't make it to every system. To my knowledge, it was 
only released on the Apple, Commodore 64, and Atari 8-bit.

The Apple Mario Bros. was programmed by Jimmy Huey(of Designer Software). He 
also programmed the VIC-20 Pac-Man. There were one or two PC games he did as 
well, but I forget what they were.
