    To this day, I'm still really impressed with this game. I mean, this came out in 1986, for crying out loud, a time when a few bits beating the hell out of some other bits counted as a game. But damn, this game is fully developed, challenging, and complex. People do not give those programmers enough credit.

    I had to draw out my own map with a box of crayola's. :P This game is pretty great, the new generation just doesn't seem to understand how awesome this game was at the time. It's true fault is the lack of map, but still it's essential to play this before diving into super metroid to fully appreciate that 8-16 bit transition. ;) Another example of rock hard NES-challenge that turned us youngsters into gaming gods, unlike most of these kindergarten easy Broshooters & ZombieSmashers(ect ect) that a 5 year old child can beat with a blind fold on.

    Turning 30 in a month. NES-for life baby. :P I wish i were born earlier, but i caught Metroid back in 89' i truly miss those days, not because of sentimental nostalgia, but because the 80's and early early 90's(90-93, maybe 94) were absolutely magical. From the imagntiive wholseome wonderful cartoons on tv, the sitcoms were grounded and had heart, the commercials were out of this world and screaming full of creativity, the fashion just rocked, the music, the horror movies, i could go on and on. Simpler times, and happier times indeed. i would prefer to blast back to circa 84 all the way up 92 if i could!

But you start exploring and getting the idea of samus mission. The CODES drove me crazy, to play again where you left off. Sometimes everytime I've finished the entire game, I would wait like 10 seconds before everything blows up to get on the elevator. I just got a kick doing that. Lol. Anyway it was fun.

    This Metroid is underrated as hell... aside from some Kraid's lair rooms, none of the rooms felt unfair. It does feel slower paced than the other games, but there's one thing in this game that makes me keep coming back to this NES classic.... It's HEAVY focus on exploration. Sure there's no map and everything, but to me, that ENHANCES the experience to me. It was fun getting lost in some of the areas to find various upgrades, missile tanks, E tanks, or maybe Kraid and Ridley themselves at their lairs. There's so many paths to take, and with my endless curiosity of what is in this or that area, I always check every nook and cranny to see what item can help me fight and survive against all the creatures of Zebes. Only problem I have with this game is that when you die, you start with 30 energy, which can be frustrating at times, but otherwise, this NES game will forever be in a special place in my heart... This game was extremely phenomenal for its time and I can definitely see why... I love it... my 5th favorite NES game ever and my 3rd favorite 2D Metroid side scroller (Tied with Super Metroid)

    My very first NES game, played it on release when I was very, very young.. I managed it to come to the final boss after month of playing but never defeated it. -.-^^ I think this was a very hard game, too. But Battle of Olympus was even harder in my opinion!

    Definitely some good skills on this playthrough... the majority of gamers that played this game for the first time in the 80s struggled with it. So if you watch this video you see he does 99% of things on first try flawlessly. The only NES game harder than this was Ninja Gaiden 1 and few select others.. At least this one gave you a password to use to continue. The nostalgia alone is pretty bad when I watched the video. I would lose myself in this game on weekends.. particularly in certain areas where the music and created an atmosphere that creeped you out. This game was truely one of a kind. I know people can experience it now but it is not the same because watching 8 bit graphics to today's standards do not do the game justice. At the time it was innovative and cutting edge. Still feels like it was not long ago when I was 8 years old playing this game on my then super 19 inch TV. If Nintendo would stop with their gimmicky systems and focus on a system that is a dedicated gaming system at its core, they can definitely give Sony and MS a run for their money. Sadly though I think those days are gone. As the more systems are released the more disconnected they get from core gaming. The WiiU is perfect example. They will end up like Sega if they do not do things right on their next system.

    This game is incredible. It's so utterly confusing. How the hell would anyone figure out to bomb these random blocks, or what any of the powerups do? It's "badly designed" but I bet it would have seemed like a literally endless labyrinth to kids back in the day, that would have kept them playing forever, and when they finally figured out how to progress to a new area it would have been an incredible feeling.

    It really was an endless labyrinth, great description. I think I beat it in 4th grade, I got lucky and borrowed it from my cousin and then got sick so I had a few days off from school to sit in front of the TV all day. Some of the "levels" and chambers were straight up creepy, none of it made sense. I'm so glad now as an adult who still plays video games that figuring out a level I'm stuck on is just an "OK Google" away. I definitely wouldn't have imagined that back in 1989.

    That's EXACTLY what was great about games of this era. It also had kids talking at school & after school about secrets of Metroid & Zelda & Castlevania 2, helped sell Nintendo Power Magazines & dedicated TV shows related to gaming. These games were 'products of their time'. In 2018 playing thru them after 30 years is annoying as fuck because there are no clues within the game on how to even find the secrets, which overall makes me feel these are bad games because of it, the player cannot progress without cheating by looking at playthru's or online walkthroughs. It was cool back then, because they were one of the first games to have secrets, but if every game did that then it would be too much for people and a chore to always doing research. So because these games were one of the first to do secrets in games its 'ok' and gets the pass as a product of its time, it was exciting back then to have true secrets to progress as you got the thrill when u finally found them out, but today its really unfair to the first-time player.

    That's the only move I saw in the whole run that I didn't know about in 1988, but don't think that makes it a TAS. The path through the game was also more carefully planned out for a 100% speedrun than I ever figured out on my own (wasn't really a thing back then). The general mastery of the gameplay at this level was completely doable without TAS. You could even predict the laggy parts when there were too many sprites coming onscreen and adjust your timing accordingly.

I see some of the comments saying how this game is impossible to beat without a guide and my only response is that there weren't game releases so often back then as there are today. That, and (probably) most of us only got one game every couple of months so we'd spend countless hours a day for many weeks playing one game. I remember playing this game and bombing EVERYWHERE trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Life was so much simpler then. LOL. These days, I'm lucky if I can play an hour every couple of days.
