Metroid (Nintendo, 1987)

As far as action/adventure games go, this is the ultimate classic, plus who knew that Samus was a female....great twist!!!

YES THE WELL KNOWN METROID STARTED HERE BACK IN 1986.NINTENDO RELEASED METROID.WHAT A GREAT GAME HOURS OF FUN.IN METROID THERE ARE MANY ITEMS,POWER UP'S AND A WHOLE LOT OF CREATURES TO BATTLE AS YOU FIGHT AGAINST THE EVIL MOTHER BRAIN ON THE PLANET ZEBES A FORTRESS OF ENDLESS SECRET PASSAGEWAYS WHERE THE METROIDS ARE MULTIPLYING.YOU WILL ALSO FIND MANY NEW WEAPONS AND SUITS LIKE THE VARIA SUIT,THE HIGH JUMP BOOTS AND THE COOL WAVE BEAM.THERE ARE 255 MISSILES THAT YOU CAN FIND BUT IN THE GAME I FOUND 260. WHEN I GOT THE LAST ONE IT WAS STILL 255 BUT THEY DID PUT AN EXTRA ONE IN THE GAME.YOU GET 5 MISSILES FOR EVERY ONE YOU FIND.SO IF YOU ARE A DIE HARD FAN OF METROID SEARCHING FOR EVERY ITEM REMEMBER THAT THERE IS MORE MISSILES THAN YOU CAN CARRY.MANY LEVELS TO EXPLORE,GREAT GAME NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.AND A GIRL NOT A GUY PRETTY CLEVER.ONE OF NINTENDO'S GREATEST GAMES.

Wow...Super Mario Bros. opened the door to adventure games on the NES. Metroid blew that door off its hinges with a Missile. The ability to wander around a planet gathering weapon upgrades and other items while defeating the Space Pirate leaders and delving deeper into the planet. A game like this was never witnessed before on the NES and many gamers loved its easy control and in depth gameply. Today not many people appreciate the influence these great old games had now that games like Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime have taken us to great places and the Wii is on the horizon but I believe we should look at Metroid and Kid Icarus and Super Mario Bros and remember where New Super Mario Bros, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl originally come from.

The first of its kind, Metroid deviated from traditional, linear play, allowing the controller to explore at will countless areas and worlds. You play as Samus Aran, bounty hunter with the "Space Pirates" as a primary target, including the life-sucking metroids and the sinister Mother Brain. The password system makes for the game's replay value, and it's an invaluable tool to complete a game with such depth. Some powerups are required, some are just for easier play, and some are simply for fun. The music is catchy and has inspired many tributes, ranging from Heavy Metal to full orchestration. And as for the graphics: Well, they are out of this world. Although the creature design is a bit zany, they are stunning for the limitations of the system, and for such an early game, they get the point across very clearly: Bash, smash, and kill everything that moves and don't feel bad about it. Throughout the game, the player will collect missiles and bombs to inflict more damage and open new worlds, as well as a slew of additional items to enhance the already spectacular gameplay. The final level Tourain lingers in plain sight like a cancer, patiently awaiting Samus and the final battle. Who will survive? You or the enemy?

I enjoyed playing this classic years ago on the NES and it's still fun years later. There are so many areas to explore on Planet Zebes that it will keep gamers engaged for hours.

I remember playing this weird but addicting game 20 years ago. It was full of mystery, adventure, and assumed the player was intelligent enough to figure out many things on their own. And there were more secrets hidden throughout the game than any other title I had played before it. When I finally did get to the final face off with the mother brain it was like I was going head-to-head against a truly evil and worthy nemesis. And that's what made me decide to grab this game again for another try at this retro classic. Thumbs up from me.

The classic NES Metroid stands as one of the pinnacle games on any system created by Nintendo, five platforms together. As far as the gameplay goes, for the 2 people in the world who would be interested but have not played metroid, this Metroid is an action adventure. At the start you are armed with a small gun connected to your arm and you are able to roll into a small ball and maneuver through a futuristic planet. As the game progresses you armorer and weapons advance while finding secret passage ways that bring you closer to destroying the final boss: the Mother Brain. This game can be difficult to find your way through but with a few helpful guides you will have no problem. If you find Mario Brothers difficult then this game with easily be an impossible challenge. In the end your character is still the smoothest space pirate fighting babe in history, yes I did say babe.

This side-scrolling adventure game is amazing. Get lost in Brinstar, battle your way through Nofair, and hunt down the notorious space pirate MotherBrain (a giant brain in a pickle jar)

This game is one of my favorites from the Nintendo NES despite how old it is.

I game was in great shape it was a great product. There were no glitches or problems with the game, works great. The seller delivered the product very quickly. I would recomend the seller to anyone.

Great condition, fast delivery! I love playing it. I hope to get more from this seller. Thank you very much.

I used to own the old NES, and when I had previously repurchased another one, I wanted to get the good old games for it as well. Metroid was in that list. I enjoy it alot, though it's very difficult at times with the primitive programming. Good game, get a copy if you have an NES. 'Nuff said.

The Game cartridge works like a gem in my Nintendo Entertainment System. However, it didn't stand up well in my Oester toaster system.

Just kidding.

Could you imagine?

I digress. The only complaint i have is cosmetic as the Sticker label on the game cartidge is in a peeling state. only slightly.

this is a really fun game at a worthwhile price. definatly reccomend this seller.
finnally got a hold of a nes but had no games immediatlym went looking and found this seller to be a great source of good games.
yay metriod!

Metroid is a classic must have NES game. If you have never played this game and you have a NES then you need to get it at all cost.

If you are a collecter, this the game. If you love action and exploring, this is the game. If you love good game play, this is the game. Do you have to much spare time, this is the game.

It's a perfect classic! Btw. If you buy this game and love it, be sure to check out Super Metroid for the Snes. You wont find it cheap, but it will be worth every penny.

Seller had avaliable quanity and was fast to ship. Game works great it is fun to play a classic every now and then. Thank again for the fast shipping

I heard about this game both pro and con so I decided I'd give it my own acid test. I found it to be a fascinating and challenging game and I'm not sorry I bought it. Like most games of its kind, it can drive you nuts, but what's a game without challenge? I'd recommend it to anyone who likes adventure games.

This seller sent conducted their auction in a very standard way. They allowed me to pay in a variety of manners and once payment was recieved they sent the item quickly. Overall great buying experience.

it was a game iv'e been trying to find for a long time the thing that i don't like is the fact that it did not come with a case for the game it does work so that does make me very happy and i do plan on buy more from this person and stuff on ebay=)
