What are some cool arcade or 8-bit era games that have "surprise" stories, i.e., you come into the game thinking there isn't a story but it throws one at you? The best example for what I mean is how in Metroid, there's:
SPOILERS
the plot twist at the end that Samus is a girl
END SPOILERS
So, for example, if I could get my kid to play that game and witness that ending before really realizing that games could throw twists at you like that, it might heighten that impact.
