In the first Metroid, no one knew until the end that the character you were playing, Samus, was actually a girl. In fact if you beat the game within a certain amount of time correctly, you'd get a special bikini ending, showing Samus in all her 8-bit glory. Well thanks to nerdom and the internet, those pixels have no evolved to something much greater. A real life sexy topless Samus resting on an asteroid. Thank you internet, and nerdgirls. You made out pre-teen dreams come true. (Depending, of course, on how old you are.)
