March 19th, 1994.
The last metroid was in captivity... the galaxy was at peace...
then all hell broke lose, I played for weeks, months (ah, the beauty of being in highschool, sleeping during class, playing at night... even pretending to be sick here and there, mweheheh)
and then got a game genie, used that "Hyper in inventory" game code and replayed it to insane levels.
Then replayed it again to get that 3 hours limit (my first game had over 50, but the goal there was to take as much time as possible, milk the ***** out as much as possible).
Then replayed it again.
and again.
and again.
... 13 years later, I think I still have an unfinished game somewehere.
Bottom line -- I may sound crazy, but I'm just celebrating the 13 years of one of the BEST games ever made. Even today, it's still MUCH more fun than 3/4 of what is out there.
I wish I could have my memory erased so I could re-explore everything like the first time... I envy the ones who've never played it yet -- you've still got one of the best games ever to enjoy.
Long live Super Metroid !!!
