When I saw the above sprites I was like "hold on this looks familiar…" and I don't mean that I saw these on the internet, I mean that I saw these outside of the internet years ago. Then it hit me: the roller skating rink in my area actually had this game! I saw this game in their arcade back around 1997 or 1998, and because anime was a new thing to me at the time I was so fascinated by anime artwork that almost any example of it that I saw at the time stuck in my mind.

I'm pretty sure the arcade machine is LONG gone (I rarely ever visited said roller rink, that one visit around 1997 or 1998 was one of the very few times I was there), but wow it's interesting to think that I actually knew of this image long before it became a meme.
