    I'm pretty sure Samus wasn't the first female protagonist in video games but she was certainly one of the most prominent.
    I'm surprised that Metroid's finally able to crawl in Zero Mission. A real break from tradition! XP

      Yeah the first are Ms. Pac-Man and the avatar in Streaking, both from 1981.

    Zero Mission is the canon version. It tells the whole story, while the original Metroid only tells part of the story.

      It´s remade, the original was Metroid. The story in the Nintendo videogame was controversy at best.

    In Metroid 1, "The path that leads to Kraid" is only one of two paths. The other one is through the green area of the Hideout, which needs a bomb to find, and a bomb to get out of, and I am so used to it, that I always think of the other path as being just the way back.

    Do you know about Metroid Planets fan game? It is the original game made in game maker with a brand new scenario that is like an 8-bit Super Metroid demake. Super well done and the best way to play Metroid 1 with max health upon a respawn, a map, and such quality of life additions.

    The lack of distinguishing features added to the disorienting aura of NES Metroid. You’re always asking yourself “wasn’t I just here?” We didn’t play games for “quality of life” in the 80s 😂

    So as someone old enough to remember playing the first Metroid when it came out, not having a map was a plus.
    People that have never played the original - hear me out. Part of the excitement about the game was making the your own map. Play for a little ➡️ draw a section of map, play more, draw more, etc etc. Your friends took a different route through the game and had a map of an unexplored area. Eventually, a full color map was release in the players handbook, but for the year before the book, Metroid was the hardest and most confusing game Nintendo released to date. At that time, hard was good.

      Yeah, I'd personally rather use the romhack that just gives me the full map on pausing instead. It makes a lot more sense in then grander Metroid continuity anyhow imo, because there is really no reason Samus wouldn't have a full map of the active parts of the planet. Kinda like how Metroid 2 not having a map at all makes sense to me aswell, because it is some dark caves lost to time(with none of the researchers sent there ever returning) and it can be reasonably assumed that whatever data there was about it has been lost.

      You do not. You start from the elevator in the area you were in when you died. All your progress is saved when you die, so you keep all items you have collected.

      Zero Mission is bumper bowling. It pales in every way to the original. If you are too snobbish for 8-bit games you'll likely never know true difficulty in an action game. Also, you're missing on tremendous amounts of charm.

    Metroid 1 is still king. Hear me out:
    1). Metroid HD: install the HD pack in Mesen NES emulator and enjoy metroid 1 with awesome music and graphics
    2). Morph Ball Jump: you can un-morph and jump in mid-air if you don't press anything on the d-pad after un-morphing
    3). Power Beam Spam: you can hold the fire button (B) and spam select or other inputs (up/down) to increase rate of fire
    4). Wall Wrap: you can get stuck in doors and wrap the screen to locked areas to skip sequences in the game
    Zero Mission has some nice quality of life improvements, but I feel like it takes away too much from the original game.
