Summary

It's you against the evil Mother Brain in the thrilling battle of Metroid! You're inside the fortress planet Zebes. The planet of endless secret passageways where the Metroid are multiplying. Left alone the Metroid are harmless. But in the wrong hands they could destroy the galaxy. It's up to you to prevent the Mother Brain that controls Zebes from using the Metroid for evil purposes. But that won't be easy. You'll have to use your spacesuit to absorb valuable energy for your search to gain the use of power items like the Ice Beam, Wave Beam, High Jump Boots and Varia. If you survive, it will be you and your acquired powers against the Mother Brain.

I applaud all those gamers who played and beat this game on the original NES / Fanicon. To play this game without a guide or a map must have been super challenging. I got turned around lost, so many times. There is no explanation and no story, but you can feel the bones of an excellent game here and what it becomes.

This is one of three games that solidified my love for gaming. I call these three games the Holy Trinity. The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Dragon Warrior on the NES were favorite games back then and still hold a spot on my all time list.

Rough around the edges and I don't have nostalgia for it. I liked it and I like how it drops you into a really hostile world with no help, hard and unforgiving naturally.

Not bad. But nothing special. Castelvania and Mario have better ideas with boss and stages
