id Software's John Carmack discusses his love of Mario and Boom Blox.

 

"It's funny right now because we just turned around gone back to the very first Wii game that we ever bought, BoomBlox," Carmack said. "It's got a creation mode, and I'm super happy that my son is now excited about building his own levels on there...just having him put the levels together, explain to me what they are, and then we start playing with them, and I think that's great."

 

"I enjoy the creative bit. We had a lot of fun with Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and the latest Super Mario Brothers and Zelda games. He's also got his Pokemon: Battle Frontier that I don't get into much," he continued.

 

Carmack went on to detail his favorite non-id Software game: "That would probably be the new Super Mario Brothers," he said. "The founding of id Software sort of revolved around Super Mario Brothers in some way, and I still have fun going back and playing that. I bought an original NES off of eBay to go ahead and show my son the old games on there, and I dug out an Atari 2600 to look at the really old games that I played."
