Wow that is strange! So the game was called "Mario's Lottery" yet the main character was called Fortran and looked like Mario?

Can't check the vid at them moment, i'll have a look tomorrow.

PRESS START TO RICH

*blingblingblingbling*

I'm getting my information from wikipedia, but I literally couldn't find mention of this "game" anywhere else. So, according to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_Shi_Mali Mario's Lottery is a bootleg game featuring Mario with an F on his cap. The name Fortran is not mentioned in the game but was apparently found in the games code and people dubbed the character after that.

Since it's literally just a lottery similuation that is unlicensed it's probably not very fun and there really isn't much else to say about it. Maybe someone should write a creepypasta about it to make it more interesting. :L
