Seeing how I'm using it here, probably not.  Wink

Although, you could just edit this skin so that quotes are white on black, like the custom one. That would work.

Considering Nintendo made it, I'd take a wild guess at no. Unless Nintendo built a time machine.

I heard it was on an arcade machine.

Er....  Nintendo has existed for over a hundred years now.


Anyways, I'm kind of saddened to see how few people here didn't first play it on the NES.  Metroid was the very first video game I ever played and owned.  I can remember, back in the day, drawing out the map on my own so I could remember where everything was, and having Kraid kick my ass for the fifteenth time in a row....  Ah yes, them was the good days.

I could have sworn it was on one of those Player's Choice machines back in the 80's when NES was really huge.  Though that doesn't necessarily count as being an arcade, it might have been what he meant. 

Back on topic, NES, it was in 88 and I was 8.  I remember bombing though my first secret wall thinking I was so cool XD

I first played Metroid sometime in the late 80's when my parents bought me Nintendo :). I never beat the game in NES, because I usually panicked in tourian when all the metroids came all over me, and didn't know how to get rid of them. (hey, I was about 6-8 years old back then ;))

And it gave me nightmares Crying or Very sad (ie. you're walking in a park and suddenly a metroid jumps from behind the tree and sucks your brains out).

I'm not sure about the original part, but the rest of it is a surprisingly good description of a metroid game, especially considering how they're some of the very few games produced by Nintendo that aren't cuteified (for a Nintendo game, Crocomir's death scene in Super was down-right gruesome).

True...they did add the cartoonish xylophone sound effect of the bones hitting the floor though.

I played it first on MP bonus.
I was 5 when it waso ut so surprisingly I didn't have a NES. I first played Metroid on the SNES with Super Metroid.

Played Metroid II notl ong after... I was scared of the Metroids. Bigger they got the more they scared me! (I was bout 12/13 so I can be forgiven for it :P)

I got fed up with Metroid as I never knew what to do or where to go and EVERY room looked the same! Was cool to see a few areas from Super Metroid tho.

He probably means the Metroid series.  This topic is about the original Metroid though...

The ZM version should have had the option to switch Weapon select to the R button.

First time I played Metroid was on a Emulator. I pressed F7 to see if there was a saved state, and appeared... in Mother Brain's room.

I never played it seriously (on Emulator) until many years later, and actually finished it.

I played through the Prime bonus, but realized when I reached the door to Mother Brain that I had forgotten to get Screw Attack. So, I was pretty...

LAME PUN ALERT

...screwed.

Mother Brain wasn't that hard without the Screw Attack.  I still have no clue where to pick that up.

Now, ZM's MB without Screw Attack... *shudders*

The thing is that with Screw Attack, you can easily kill those Cheerios... I've never done any good without it, at least.

I unlocked it in Prime like many others & played for a few minutes. Then I died :D So then I watched the speed runs since I figured that I would never play it seriously (well maybe when my ZM arrives).
