Super Metroid Magazine

2004-04-03 04:03:11 pm

I was just looking through my old game magazines and i came across the cover of an old game magazine called "Game Players" and realized that the picture on the cover looks nothing like the Samus we see now =\
Eh i just figured it'd be novelty-ish to see

It took me like an hour to get it that small... And its even not small now.... I don't know why it scanned so large.... oh well... The review for it was this
Up arrow means it is a plus

Graphics
9 (up arrow) Large, smooth-moothing characters and absolutely enormous bosses.
(up arrow) Backgrounds with rich colors, deep shading, and spectacular effects.

Music & Sound FX
9 (up arrow) Metroid's original music has been spiced up for 16-bit.
(up arrow) the moody tunes also add a lot to the game's creepy, alien atmosphere.

Bells & Whistles
10 (up arrow) The suto-mapping feature is the only option the original Metroid really needed.
(up arrow) Hidden weapons are more than new killers --- they open up new game sections!

Control
10 (up arrow) You have absolute control when jumping, running, or using a special weapon.
(up arrow) Fire directly up or diagonally, and even hold your firing position while moving.

Replay Value
9 (up arrow) There's tons of space to explore --- and just as many secrets to find.
(up arrow) You'll want to play through again and again even after you've beaten it.

OVERALL
97%
(highest in all these magazines i have)

Samus looks 14 and on a really, really old poster ad for Coca-Cola.

I swear.

Wow! What a crappy looking magazine. I bet the inside is even worse.

To me, she looks late-30's/early-40's....

there was one american artist who made a samus comic... she had purple hair in that, I believe... can't remember for sure.

that's probably related in someway (was around that time.)

personally, I like her with purple hair... but she's clearly been blonde since day one (?).

And kiss the magazine at that.
