My first encounter with Metroid was with Super at a Target SNES kiosk. I was fascinated, but it wouldn't be until middle school that I'd actually have a chance to sit down and play it. My parents would expect me to do what I felt was an unreasonable amount of work before they'd buy or rent a game for me, but by middle school I'd discovered emulation, and that was how I fell in love with the Metroid series. I eventually spotted a cart in a stack of other games being sold to a retro game store and I bought it before they even had a chance to put a price tag on it. I currently own almost every Metroid game.
