title: Mario's Game Gallery
text: Mario's Fundamentals, originally released as Mario's Game Gallery, is a compilation game in the Mario franchise. It was published by Interplay Entertainment and developed by Presage Software Inc. for PCs running Microsoft Windows. Exclusive to the United States, it was originally released in 1995. It was later reissued and retitled in 1998, with Mindscape publishing the re-release; a version for Macintosh computers was published by Stepping Stone.
  
  Five traditional games are included: checkers, backgammon, Go Fish, dominoes, and "Yahtzee". Players play against Mario in these games, though at times they can also play against Bowser. Gameplay for all the games is similar to their real-world counterparts, though pieces are altered to be themed after the Mario universe.
  
  Both versions of the game have received mixed reception. Upon its initial release, various publications found it to be a good educational game:  The Miami Herald praised it for "providing fun for the whole family"; and the Los Angeles Times said that it would appeal to younger gamers.
