I'm a big Metroid fan. I owned and beat everything up to Metroid Prime and Fusion. The 8-bit original Metroid isn't that great. When I played it as a kid I had to make my own map; the weapons didn't stack, and the ice beam was shit. The graphics were inferior to everything that came later. The music (especially in the boss zones) was good, and the exploration unparalleled before then, but the Metroid HD mod just makes it better. None of the art in the original Metroid was particularly good in the first place. Compared (eg) to Mega Man*, it sucked ass.*

*Annnd it turns out they hacked Mega Man into Metroid.
