I remember that Super Metroid was the very first game to really scare me, from the first mini-boss to the end. I clearly remember to have said to my mom that it stressed me a lot, despite the fact I badly want to continue to play X3

Super Metroid ... hmm. I wanna say it didn't scare me, but that's not quite true. The downbeat music and the sheer size of the game always gave me a kind of lonely, frightened feeling. I think partly because I used to rent it before I bought it, and I'd invariably play one of the games that someone else had played. And I'd find myself in some strange, huge area with no idea what to do ... come to think of it, EVERY SNES game I rented gave me that same feeling ... hmm.

I remember that game. The only thing that scared me more than the metroids was the LAVA. EVERYWHERE.

You could go in it and see the areas ahead of you with no explained reason until you drained your health slowly to zero.

That game is also filled with large, black empty areas with metroids THAT COME OUTTA NOWHERE OHSHIT

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Not even Lave "The Liquid" I -hate- you SR388. That was the second Gameboy game I ever owned. And the later stage metroids, those things were so insane to fight, and they'd just rape all your health away x_x And the fact that all the backgrounds were like, abyssal black didnt help, yeah...

Metroid 4 was terrifying the first time around because you didn't know when the SA-X was going to show up.

And when it finally does you it scares the sh*t out of ya.
Cause you know it's gonna happen.
You know.
But it still gets you.
And then the fun begins!

Hahah, I have no clue, I felt more like I was running a weird science experiment, I'm likely to take them down anyways....it's VERY weird to see people +fav a photo of you, that hits my WTF button XD

you know, I believe that game had a special super gameboy / gameboy color mode that looked pretty well. Hint hint.

Heh. Yeah, no kidding. Long ago I used to post pictures of myself, but more and more recently, employers can and often do searches online, to see what they can find. I don't use my real name anymore, but still. :P

I guess I'm of the opinion if folks want to see what I look like, they can come to a convention. :)

well as much I agree with you...
some dont post images just to show how they are
they infact are fully camwhoring... in the extreme side..
like.. lately a lot of idiots thinks its "cool" to shot photos of themselves, posing suggestively while wearing horrible thongs-underwears AND take special delicacy for super-closeups of the crotch section...

0.0... I've never really gotten into Metriod... Though the game intregues me I just didn't find it super intresting... Then I played metroid prime... Found it pretty good till the part where all your weapons go offline... *Only one he's truly played* And found that.... well.... Lost injtrest after that.... :P... Too lazzy to play any other games then my usual... And Dead Rising... ^_^... Killing Zombies to the Katamari theme is mind boggling!

Yea, the memo is FA = myspace now

ENJOY =D

It's as if all my dreams have been answered.

Mine too ;)

So yeah, post a journal every day.

Awesome. Metroid 2 was so much fun.

I miss Gunpei so much. I wish he hadn't made the virtual boy T_T

Yea,h metroids scared the fuck out of me, too D:

metroids didnt give me a .. fear type of sort,, more of a.. OH GOD DAMN AM I FAST ENOUGH TO KILL THEM.. in most cases no..
now i have to say that the evolved final metroid,, i think that mother or whatever (not motherbrain) was pretty fuckin scary.

I think your avatar scares me the most. (j/k)

RAPE KIRBY IS THE TRUE LAST BOSS OF METROID HUNTERS!

I think metroids are cute. :3

Zelda: Link's Awakening scared me! Those fuckin' moblins...=^-^=

I think EVERY Gameboy game frightened me irrationally. I had a few Gameboy games as a kid, but whenever I read a review or guide in Nintendo Power, they always struck me as these sad, dreary little things that just wanted to be like their big cousins, but didn't make the cut. Why did that frighten me? I was a stupid kid.

Why in the HELL havent they remade Metroid 2 yet!? Metroid Zeromission was gaming GOLD, the magic they could do with 2 if they werent being lazy would be epic!

It WAS surprisingly innovative. Most of the aspects of the series that I attributed to Super Metroid actually started with Metroid 2.

Oh man, I remember that. The creepy music, the strange backgrounds, the large empty black caves...

And then out of nowhere the game goes DUN DUN DAAAAAAAA! and hits you with eleven simultaneous heartattacks and a Zeta metroid flies at you, shooting fireballs while the music is racing!

Man, those were the days.

Also the spider ball kicked ass. Not this Metroid Prime magnetic rail garbage. Climb all over EVERYTHING! And they even had missile tanks hiding on the ceiling!

Cripes, seems everyone has fond memories of this. Am I the only one who didn't play it as a kid?

Run Like Hell and Silent Hill 2 were theo nnly games to scare me.


That and the roar of the T-Rex from Jurassic Park on SNES.

Never want for ROMs again.

Oooh, thanks!

well metroid 2 was ok but i dont see how its skary. metriods are the most irritating things in the damn game... but ... i do see how that would be a skary thought.

I've never played Metroid 2. I only figured out what system it was for by reading the other comments.

I've played Super Metroid, which I enjoyed for the atmospheric effects, even if it didn't scare me. Some of it was creepy, tho. And when you fight that mid-boss and shove him into the lava, and then his skeleton leaps out of the wall at the other end...yeah, that scared me. It still does most times, even though I know it's going to happen.

For a moment, I wondered what the first game that scared me was, thinking it was a while before that happened, but then I remembered how I'd run from the room, perhaps screaming, whenever my dad got to "firey world" in Super Mario Bros 1, for NES. I eventually figured out that it was the music that did it--if we turned the volume down, I could manage to watch. I was also 6 years old at the time. But that music made me freak out, and I'd hide in another room until the level was over.

Oh, I've played Metroid, on an NES emulator...but I keep getting confused for lack of a map, and then I just get stuck and/or bored, so I give up. Plus I keep dying.

I thought I was just being a wuss getting scared durring super metroid and metroid 2 but they were so addictive to play I couldn't stop.
