确实，这篇文章根本没讲 NES 到底是怎么运作的。如果你想真正了解其硬件，《I Am Error》（Nathan Altice 著）是一本详解 NES 工作原理的好书。里面有一章专门讲了《超级马力欧兄弟》（SMB1）是如何存储关卡布局的。
Indeed, nothing in this article has anything to do with how the NES worked. If you want a real introduction to the hardware, "I Am Error" by Nathan Altice is a great book about how the NES worked. It includes a chapter about how SMB1 in particular stored its level layouts.
> 另外，视频里有很多关于马力欧关卡整体是如何构建的信息，我觉得干货满满。如果你想深入了解这类主题，可以去看看 Nathan Altice 写的《I Am Error》（MIT 出版社出版；别在亚马逊买）。它深入剖析了 NES 硬件的工作原理以及具体游戏是如何利用这些特性的。
> Also, the video has a lot of info about how levels are constructed in Mario in general, which I found very informative. If you'd like a lot more on this kind of topic, check out the book "I Am Error" by Nathan Altice (published by MIT Press; don't buy from Amazon). It goes into a bunch of detail about how the NES hardware worked and how specific games used it.
才不呢。MIT 出版社出的任何东西我都买账。《Racing The Beam》和《I Am Error》对我来说简直是封神之作。Boss Fight Books 出的一些东西也惊人地优秀。我立刻就想到了关于《Final Fantasy V》的那本。
Nope. I'd go with anything from MIT. Racing The Beam and I Am Error were transcendental for me. Some stuff from Boss Fight books is absurdly good. Final Fantasy V immediately comes to mind.

…带“状态栏”的游戏常用的技术。《超级马力欧兄弟 3》是另一个典型例子，但其实早在它之前《超级马力欧兄弟》就在顶部状态栏用上了。我最早是在 Nathan Altice 那本极好的《I Am Error》里读到的，不过去 Google 搜一下“nes sprite zero split”也能搜出一堆相关文章。
…technique for games that have a "status bar". Super Mario Bros 3 is another obvious example, but even Super Mario Bros uses it long before then for its top status bar. I first read about it in the excellent "I Am Error" book by Nathan Altice, but googling around for "nes sprite zero split" turns up plenty of other articles, too.
