I'm gonna try to beat this for the very first time. The OG Metroid, from the NES. I've played it before but I've never made it past like.. the first area, or much further than just getting a missile expansion. I currently have the Ice Beam and the Long Beam, this is the furthest I've ever gotten. I'm looking at a map, I'm not gonna be super hardcore and make one myself, that's insane. ![[metroid_map.gif]] I found this here http://www.samus.co.uk/metroid/guides.shtml # Brinstar Idk where I'm at right now but it's somewhere here ![[Pasted image 20250409000252.png]] # Norfair I've just entered Norfair for the first time! lol let's go. I got a bunch of missiles and an Energy Tank! Trying to figure out how to get the Screw Attack, there's a secret room above me but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get there yet. This is where I'm at on Save Slot 1 restore points. ![[metroid_map edit.gif]] This game is hard af yo. So far I've only "died" once or twice. I'd be extremely upset if I didn't have the rewind feature. And no, I don't care if I'm cheating lol. I'm not a child in the 80's. Now I also want to get all the classic Switch 2 controllers for a more authentic experience on the classics.
