Not even close. The map basically shows you where everything is and the map came with the cartridge.

Metroid is a game that absolutely pushed the boundaries of what video games could be and the NES's hardware. It's an extremely important game.

But frequently boundary pushing means that that you aren't actually that good. You are limited by technology. You are limited by not being able to learn from previous attempts. You have good ideas that you weren't able to be implemented properly. You have bad ideas that nobody knew were bad yet. The original Metroid aged horribly. There is basically no reason to play it outside of historical curiosity, especially since Zero Mission exist.

Back in the age where devs made games hard as fuck for reasons but kids didn't mind because that's all they knew.

I am a teacher and the year before Covid we had a crazy winter storm and had a full week of cancelled school. Beat Metroid on the mini with save states. And made a lot of margaritas.

I saw a video after this topic started and it never occurred to me to freeze those damn circles.

Even doing that, it still fucking sucks. If I fell in the acid/lava I could never fucking manage to get out. Only ever beat her once, and any time I replayed after I just never bothered with Tourian lol

I played and beat Metroid 1 without save states and using my own passwords and I can confidently say that I was miserable during it. Restarting with 30 energy is definitely the biggest gripe against the game
The game was easy as pie. Even back then

The SNES mini. Somehow mine ended up with NES games on it. Not sure how.

Did you buy it used? The minis were super easy to hack, I have a stock SNES mini and one I hacked a bunch of extra games to.

The worst part of Metroid 1 is just how many things are smaller than your shot. If you could just crouch and shoot before needing to use bombs, so many things would be less annoying.

metroid 2 fixed a lot of things wrong with the first game.

It's been a long time since I beat this one. Didn't care for it back in the day. Only until playing Super Metroid did I want to try this. It's not horrid, but there are some really dull parts (getting out of a giant pit by shooting blocks that will reappear as you ascend).

Better options for Metroid games for sure.

The sucky thing about escaping acid or lava is that you have to let yourself sink before jumping, otherwise it nerfs your jump.

Oh yeah I posted in here about Kool Aid Points. What a ruse! But heh Metroid is like Kid Icarus in ways just brutal and these were games by our new gods and goddesses Nintendo. At least Kid Icarus had a credit card, wow that was an early before it's time secret. I love Super Metroid, but Metroid 1 eh I'd rather play Metroid Fusion.
