I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again
NES games are an important part of video game history, without them we wouldn’t have most video games today, so they should be respected.
However, they should be treated more like artifacts in a museum, you should look at them, learn about them and what they inspired, but you shouldn’t play most of them.
Metroid 1 was ambitious for the time it came out in, it’s lead to a great series full of many spectacular games, and a whole ass genre of video games that are still made to this day, however it is very much held back by the technology of the time, the fact that there’s no map also just really hinders the game.
It’s an alright game, archaic, and I would probably recommend playing zero mission instead just to get a better experience but uh, well I haven’t played that one, I have 0 access to it and I would’ve probably skipped this one if I did have access to it.
Welp, onto Metroid II
