Super Metroid

Anyone remember that game on the Nintendo?
The one part that sticks in my head more than anything is blowing up that glass tunnel thing with super bombs, it was epic!

Its the same game with slightly different physics and a different world map

Is it also so hard that only hardened speed-runners can complete the first screen?

Super Metroid for the SNES is one of my favourite games! Completed it so many times =P

Started Super Metroid again recently when got it for 30c from the VC on Wii U.

I like Metroid but couldn't really go back to it. Super Metroid has aged much better and then the games that came after like the Prime and GBA games are all great as well.
When it comes to recommending people play Prime, I always suggest Super Metroid first to get to know the mechanics

Are you taking about the escape from the research facility? I was lucky enough to finish that on my first attempt with less than a second to spare. It is much harder in general. Normal enemies take far more shots to take down

There is one part later on that is stupid. You have to pass through a wall to progress further. There is no indication that you could walk through the wall. I only found it by watching some "Let's Play" on youtube

I actually just started playing Super Metroid over the weekend. I've had the Snes for years, but never had the time to really sit down with it until now. Great stuff so far. I'm really enjoying It, but damn am I lost!
