The Dudes were delighted this week to have yet another real life guest on our show! They talk about one of the best NES games to come out on the system… Metroid!
This one was requested by a listener, but the Dudes have been itching to talk about it since the inception of this show. Metroid has one of the most storied histories of all the NES games. Plus, it’s a whole lot of fun to play. The music is so creepy that some might call it a survivor horror game. Inspired by Alien, it is easy to see some of the similarities between them.
Metroid is an incredible game that set the standard for a lot of games to follow it. It makes you wonder why so few Metroid games have been made while Samus is such a loved character. Guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Anyway, enjoy this episode. We know the Dudes did!
