Metroid and Samus

One of my favorite games on the Ninetendo was Metroid. It was also probably one of the first games I actually finished besides Zelda. Eventually, I learned how to play Metroid as the female version, which eventually became the entire mythology of the character and her adventures.

It doesn’t really matter, actually. I just remember wanting to be her so badly, to have those wonderful adventures, curl up in a ball, or even be able to encounter those little jellyfish things.

Naturally, pictures like this remind me of old loves.
