There's been thousands of video games made in the last 30 years, but none have seemingly stood the test of time like Super Metroid. While its influence on gaming is undeniable, it wasn't until recently that I finally got to play this game from start to finish. While my mission was to rescue the last Metroid, my real concerns lay elsewhere. I had to know. Was Super Metroid really as good as people say it is? Or is this another case of nostalgia elevating something that isn't all that great?

Join me by the campfire as I share with you my thoughts and experiences. We're going to play through the game's epic beginning and jaw dropping conclusion. If this episode doesn't bring you the nostalgic tinglies, I don't know what will!
