/vr/ - Retro Games

The worst water area in history of gaming.
FUCK. THIS. PART.

I don't see any other broken tubes

This and wrecked ship are two of the worst sections of any video game ever

>Zero Mission, AM2R, Super
This is honestly the best path for someone new to the franchise in 2018. Zero Mission is an enhanced remake of Metroid 1, and AM2R is an enhanced remake of Metroid 2. Super never needed a remake. Play the remakes of the first two titles, and they'll warm you up to series enough that when you play Super you'll totally get it, and recognize it as one of the greatest games of all time. After that if you're hooked and want to see where the series came from, try the original M1 and M2, or you can jump to Metroid Prime 1 and see how the series grew into 3D.

There's some inherent risk in buying used electronics, if the store has signage that there's no returns then that's just the way it is. There are times when this policy will hurt an honest customer who might've bought a game that wasn't tested by the store and doesn't work. But it also protects the store from dishonest customers who could take advantage of a return policy to "rent" games.

I also remember a story from a /vr/ anon who worked in a used game store
>all games in store tested before going on shelf
>guy buys copy of super metroid
>comes back next day saying it doesn't work, wants his money back
>"doesn't work? alright lets put it in our snes and try it"
>pops it in snes on counter hooked up to lil tv
>guy starts getting nervous, "nevermind give it back i changed my mind"
>turns on snes, game immediately comes on but it's not SM, it's snes Wheel of Fortune
>guy runs out of the store, never came back

This would probably be one of my favorites if Maridia didnt exist

I was about halfway through Maridia when it really hammered home that Super Metroid was the best game I'd ever played
