I played through it using Nintendo's official guide - which had amazing illustrations and the all-important bestiary - and finally beat it one night with my family present. Since I'm sure you know how thrilling the final areas of that game are, you can imagine what that experience was like for me. Super Metroid is still probably my No. 1 game. <br /><br />Since I didn't play Metroid for NES until after I experienced Super Metroid, the older game needed to work a bit before I enjoyed it as much. I've not beaten it nearly as many times as SM, but it's definitely in my top 10 for my NES library. <br /><br />As a side note, I recently got a Famicom Disk System along with Metroid, and it's pretty awesome to play it with the enhanced sounds and an actual save feature. The password system for the NES Metroid is just atrocious! Draculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587852177919783864noreply@blogger.com
