The claustrophobic and desolate tunnels and caverns, the wonderfully weird background noises instead of music, the inherently dark visuals provided by that green screen, plus the anticipation of finding a Metroid shell and knowing than an evolved form lurked nearby was all very scary. That was a great sequel that instead of replicating the original formula gameplaywise seemed to continue from where the first one left off. I hope you will dissect that monochromatic masterpiece next! The Spider Ball was awesome…

Because I remember knowing exactly how to fight them but I don’t recall if I heard about it from a friend or just did my homework.
