This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now... Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀

I'm so nostalgic for that one. Don't think I ever managed to beat it back then though.

I only ever beat it back in the day by using the game guide lol! That was long enough ago that the game guide was an actual paper book I had to find at a store and pay real money for! Well, my mom paid for it anyway lol

I never convinced my parents to get me Nintendo Power... So there were many games that I just never figured out!

My mom liked playing Nintendo games as much as I did so if there was a game she wanted to see the end of we would end up getting a Nintendo Power or a standalone game guide that was supposedly purchased for me lol

I didn't have a guide, but got stuck for days at the part where you have to super bomb the glass tube. I just did it out of desperation and couldn't believe it worked! A similar thing happened 5 years earlier in Simon's Quest when you have to hold crouch while holding the blue crystal. Come to think of it, Super Metroid might just be the last game in which I got stuck like that before I had access to the internet to look these things up.

That is the greatest game of all time (in my opinion). Celebrating its 30th all year - what a masterpiece.

The fact you couldn’t go back after saving in the last area was horrible.

But if it didn’t have that I might agree, definitely one of the best games I’ve played.
