Metroid
Metroid - NES - USA.jpg
Platform: NES
Year: 1986
Developer: Nintendo R&D1
Buy: Amazon

Metroid is a very fun adventure platform game where you play the role of a bounty hunter named Samus Aran. You are trying to stop a ruthless band of space pirates from breeding a terrible army of the deadly alien known as the metroid. In the game, you'll find power-ups like the ability to morph your body into a ball, high jumping boots, and a protective vira shield. You'll also find powerful weapons like the ice beam, wave beam, missiles, and bombs. As you work your way through the labyrinth of rocky cave, organic tunnels, and futuristic corridors you'll battle with some of the most deadly alien criminals in the world, Kraid, Ridley, and Mother Brain. Every section has its own look and feel, each more spine-chilling then the last.

Metroid is also the sister game of Kid Icarus: Angel Land Story (NES), both being released by the same development staff, using similar game engines, password systems, and platform adventure styles. However, while Kid Icarus failed to make a splash, Metroid became one of the most popular NES franchises.

Music

This soundtrack is often thought of as Hirokazu Tanaka's magnum opus before leaving Nintendo. The music is above average for a game from 1986, but sounds dated compared to the later NES games. Yet, even with the antiquated technology, a nice amount of craft put into the tunes, especially the title and ending music.
