Eight years after playing for the first time, andI can't get over this game. Anonymous Tue Oct 23 19:47:52 2018 No.5120349 [View]

I've been playing through Axiom Verge recently and it made me think about Super Metroid.

There have been a lot of indie games and "homages" to it lately, but Super Metroid is still the one to beat. Whenever I homebrew a console, it's the first ROM I copy. I own two original cartridges of it, with one in a slightly weathered box. And to top it all off, I never grew up with it, I only played it in college (though I did play Zero Mission in middle school).

Why does this game have such staying power? Can it ever truly be surpassed?
