Metroid


Does anyone else think of this movie when they play the original Metroid NES game?

Can't say I ever did, but it's been decades since I played it. One thing I do remember about the game is the feeling of being on your own with these aliens or something, in this huge place.

I played the game long before I saw the movie. Also, I saw Aliens first due to it coming out on HBO when I was 10 or so. So many years later, I saw Alien and was blown away by how good it was, and the feeling of being all alone in space. A decade later, playing the game on an emulator, I was struck by the similar feeling due to the soundtrack and background graphics.

Yes I always felt metroid was trying to be a space horror film like alien. Your up against monsters rather then intelligent aliens most of the game.
