Darryl "darryl1970" Guenther shared, via the AtariAge forum, unreleased versions of his own hacks of several classic Atari games, including Mario Bros XE, Popeye, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Ms Pac-Man.
Mario Bros. XE Encore
The animation when Mario runs is more fluid and he was able to transfer the improved enemy flies from the 5200 version, among other details that make this -in his opinion- "the most accurate port" of the popular plumber's first game.Mario Bros. XE Encore for Atari computers

Sacrifices a color to make the protagonist's fist have higher resolution and, therefore, more detail. In addition to modifying the graphics - which bring it closer to the Nintendo NES version - Olivia's design was improved and animated bottles were added.Popeye Encore for Atari computers

Doubled the size of the heroine's lips to make them look better when played on real hardware. Similarly, tweaked the eyes of the ghosts and made changes to the prize fruits.Ms Pac-Man Encore for Atari computers

He adjusted the colors to what would be the best version - if possible, since changing them makes one character look better and the others worse. He also improved Mario's jumping and walking.

The update focused on “slimming down” the sprites. To achieve better proportions, he had to sacrifice details. However, he managed to change the ground and the vines.
