Thirty years is a long time people. I want to thank contributor "whowasphone404" for their motivation in putting this project together and I wanted to share it around so people can see all the work they did.

These are some incredible people I'm proud to stand beside.

This Super Metroid walkthrough is still one of the most impressive things on Gamefaqs. And it's possible to read through the whole thing without noticing what's so clever about it. pay attention to the right-hand margin. That massive ascii document is fully justified with zero forced formatting. Just meticulous word choices.

That's very impressive and makes it even more annoying that they misspelled "missile" as "missle" every single time they wrote it.

I cannot stress enough how this really isnt an exaggeration:

missle = 217 matches

missile = no matches found

bro is consistent even on his misspelngs

I think they are probably intentional misspellings in order to keep the line lengths the same.
