  For the record, I AM impressed that a grown man beat a 40 year old game made for children

  Star Tropics NES without a guide, is impossible. But it&apos;s super cool why.

  The cut to you with disheveled hair explaining how long it took to find that last missile tank was the cherry on the cake. 😅

  As someone who played the NES a million times and know it inside out, this was funny to watch. Decent job for a first time player.

  big ups to you for beating this one man, it&apos;s brutal! I don&apos;t think I would&apos;ve stuck it out even if I did have a guide. This challenge series is so much fun to watch. I couldn&apos;t stop laughing at Jimini being summoned for the Ridley fight lmao. Look forward to seeing the next one! And of course, great editing as well. The SFX are on point

  I love that you used the instruction manual too. &nbsp;That&apos;s something a lot of people challenging themselves to these older games seem to skip, but we DID have manuals.

  Well done! NES Metroid was the very first video game I ever beat, way back in 1988. I have lost count of how many times I have played through the game. Even in 2026, the amount of times I have played through it rests somewhere in the double digits.<br><br>I am always up for playing through a quick run of the game. Always a good test for memory, to remember where everything is. Both the Ice and Wave Beams, all of the other pickups, all 8 energy tanks, and 255 missiles. Thanks for the video, xwater! I even add hunting down Fake Kraid to my hit list.
