i first played mp at a target(it was a demo) and couldn’t figure out how to activate the red dots on the second force field in the beginning, but i still thought it was awesome. when i got a gamecube, i got it as the game for it
Metroid. When 8-bit stood at the top of the hill as king. With it’s mind numbing graphics and acoustic wonderment of sound. Metroid. Not ‘Metroid I’, I say. Just Metroid. Before the franchise symbiote latched hold and propelled a small girl named Samus starward towards unknown terrors and unimagined glory.
I bought super metroid, but after playing Super Smash Bros., which is actually when I first heard of samus. I was never actually into metroid until I saw my uncle playing Prime after its release, and the fact that my uncle seemed so good (at the time I was all thumbs with FPS’s.) made the game seem all the more great. We stayed up all night playing it, which by morning I, like anyone, would have fallen in love with the game. The game now ofcourse doesn’t seem nearly as great as it did back then. Ingnorance is bliss…
I had heard of Metroid through EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly). And they were making this whole big deal about Metroid Prime, and listed Super Metriod as the best game ever in their top 100 best games. So I was like, okay, this might be cool. So like any good person I went out and bought a SNES, Metroid, Metroid 2, and Super Metroid, and most definetly did not download an emulators and ROMs of them all. I didn’t really get into Metroid (never really did, it’s actually pretty lame), and Metroid 2 was very confusing to me at the time, but I loved Super Metroid. Come Christmas, I got a Gamecube and Metroid Prime and have loved the series ever since.
