I've made one. It's not finished, but it never will be.

how come it will never be finished????????

I switched to a different program made by the same company, and the subtle code changes made the game unsalvagable. I can still give the last "stand-alone" save that I had made, but it's far from finished.

Which Program Did You Use? and Switch To?

"DoMo ArIgOtO, Mr. RoBoTo"

I switched from "Multimedia Fusion Express" to "Multimedia Fusion," which is better, despite the shorter name.
And everything went wrong then. When an enemy was jumped on, it would fly sideways forever. Same with debris from bricks. And point values would stay on the screen forever as well, cluttering it up. The map didn't even work at all.

I'm a fledgling game designer and for practice, I'm currently working on a from-scratch side scroller engine to host a game that will be entitled "Toad's Adventure: The Return of Wart."

I'm not going to reveal too many details about the story line, but you can probably figure it stars Toad. I think he's the most neglected character of them all, and he happens to be my favorite as well ;) Mario will make appearances in the game and will be relevant to the story line -- you'll have to help him out of more than one jam over the course of the game ^_^

Its a C program that will run in DOS and uses the (in)famous Allegro game programming library. I'd estimate the engine is about 10% finished, so I have a lot of work to do. Sound effects, music, and graphics progress is better though. I'd estimate 80% on the sound and maybe 20% on graphics.

This is a private project since its obviously a blatent copyright violation. I'm just making it for my own personal education and entertainment. However if people are interested in playing it, I may provide a covert download location when its ready ;) I know my friends are excited about it. I hope that others will like it when its done.

I used to have a homemade mario game until I delete it. But I think I still have it.

Well..
If anybody wants to play a homemade Mario game while you're waiting for others to finish...
...and you've got a PC...
...and some spare time...
Though it's unfinished, it still works. It's just got a few bugs. Copy http://members.xoom.com/f1fth/mario03ok.zip into your browser. It's about 4 megabytes. You'll also need the contents of this file http://members.xoom.com/f1fth/dll.zip somewhere on your computer. It's about 200 kilobytes.

My Super Mario Universe game. Keep in mind that it's rather difficult to make decent animations.

well, i had some spare time
...and a pc...
...and i played it...
...and it rocks...
the graphics are fair, and it could have used some bg music, but other than that...i'd give it a 3.5 out of 10.
any plans on finishing it?

I can't finish it because the game file no longer works. I can, however, salvage the graphics and start over entirely with the code; I can sort of think of that game as a "test run," and avoid all of the bugs next time. I just need to know if it'd be worth my while first. (I've already started an engine that's many times better than the older one.)

Oh and the game did have background music. Perhaps your MIDI volume was off, daFunkster?
