Anyone who owns or used to own a C64 remembers the Great Giana Sisters. A lot of people without a C64 probably remember them as well. Released in 1987 for the Commodore, Amiga and other consoles, this platform game is a classic knock-off of the Super Mario Bros., featuring two cute sisters instead of the plumber brothers. It was so similar, in fact, that a tagline of the game was “The brothers are history. It was recalled almost instantly after legal ramifications from Nintendo.

However, 2005 saw a new version for mobile phones, simply titled Giana Sisters. In 2009, a significant update was ported to the Nintendo DS, possibly smoothing things over a bit. In 2005, though, along with the mobile version was Giana’s Return, and unofficial fanmade game that made it way to many different formats. Now, the unofficial sequel has found its way to the Sega Dreamcast and features the same great pixilated graphics but stellar game play as the original.
