I was 16 in 1986. Never heard of this game. Must have been too busy playing Galaga. One of the high points of my life was having the high score on all three Galaga machines in Windsor Park Mall (Aladin's Castle, the movies lobby, and the arcade by Montgomery Wards) at one time.

And no, I never got laid in high school.

BTW, I took a totally wild stab-in-the-dark guess at 1986 being the year Metroid came out.

Released in Japan 1986. 1987 in the US.

So I was close.

We young'ins (i was 6) look at Metroid as one of the single greatest virtual experiences we've ever had.

damn, DR, you're younger than I thought. By some of your posts (Political mostly) I expected you to be a little older than that.

I remember Metroid, but not enough to remember the characters, plot, and anything else. I was 26 in 1986, so that make me one year older than JoeChalupa.

oh yeah, I went there all the time. My friends and I during lunch at Judson High, used to zip over to Windsor Park Mall, eat at Arby's and then hit Aladin's Castle right next to Arby's.

I find it mind-blowing that a gamer has never heard of one of the most famous, most highly-touted videogame series in history. Incredible.

SAMUS!!!!!!!!!!!
many weekends were lost playing this when it first came out. this should be made into a movie, but they'll probably screw that up.
