When Super Mario Bros. released in 1987 for the NES, the home computer market in Europe wanted the game for the Commodore 64, but Nintendo refused. So Rainbow Arts in Germany would develop a clone known as The Great Giana Sisters and release it in 1988. It was an excellent game in its own right, but Nintendo was not happy and forced the game off the market not long after release.
