Metroid was one of the first NES games I ever played, never owned it but played it here n there when I was a kid never knowing exactly where to go and just ran around shooting stuff aimlessly.
Anyways started playing it recently and got hooked after looking up a map/walkthrough so I know where the hell to go.
Always saw pics n knew what happened after blowing up Mother Brain but to beat that part of the game gave me anxiety... Finished with the 'good ending' too, made my night.
