Cue the fireworks!

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. and the North American debut of the NES, we ran a competition to give away a free 500-point NES title for Virtual Console to each of twenty-five winners, the selection of the game being their choice.

Almost a thousand users entered, so we'd like to congratulate the 25 lucky contestants who overcame the odds. They are:
