Four great games.
1998
I’ll finish it some day
Not bad for an old gameboy game.
Two amazing games
As someone who never played the original this seemed fine? Nothing crazy, just a decent Pokémon game.
Recently did a Hard Mode 100% run and since I didn’t write anything about this game before I am now.
What else can be said about Zero Mission? It’s one of the all time great remakes. Metroid 1 is a game I love but it was really held back by its hardware. It’s weird though because Super Metroid is already kind of a remake?
The thing that makes Zero Mission stand out and probably what most people remember is the zero suit section. It’s divisive for sure but I think it’s really neat and unexpected on a first playthrough. Especially for those who had finished the original. On repeat playthroughs it is kind of just tedious. And I can safely say on hard mode it’s just kind of bullshit. You die in like 3 hits. Getting the full suit and blasting through pirates is really empowering though.
From a Hard Mode 100% perspective I had a good time. The shinespark puzzles were fun to execute. The game is still a breeze though. Only challenge was zero suit and mecha Ridley.
Overall I love this game. It’s pretty short but sometimes all I want is some bite size Metroid.

One day you’ll realize you’ve hit that age. That age where you don’t understand what young people are talking about, and the games you grew up loving have become the new retro indie style. Cool twitch streamers are playing it but you wonder if it’s the same feeling as playing Silent Hill in 1999 and you go into that school classroom and the phone on the desk rings. Your mind has been imprinted. You will literally never forget this moment. The phone rings in this game too. But it’s not the same.
I’m sure there’s more indie horror of this variety that have come out lately but this and Signalis seem to have made the biggest impact on the larger gamosphere. I rated Signalis higher than this but maybe it’s because I played it first. I’m all for indie games doing whatever but I’m not sure my brain can sustain many more games that call back to a childhood I can’t have back.
Anyways, this game is fun. I like the chunky ps1 polygons. I finished it right before they added a hard mode which the game needed because it is way too easy.

I think I committed war crimes because of a three’s company-esque mistaken identity.
2013
They really butchered the end of this game.
