The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Nintendo has been promoting their new Metroid game for the Wii. They've put the original NES game and the SNES game "Super Metroid" on the Wii shopping channel. I really liked the original Gameboy game "Metroid 2: The return of Samus". A lot of people don't realize that Samus is a chick! It was one of the first games that had a female character in the lead role. Consider other games of the era like Zelda (link), Super Mario Bros (two male plumbers), etc. It was a big deal back then. Most of the games targeted at women were Barbie games. How lame.
