My original Game Boy was my constant companion when I was dragged around by my parents to wherever it was they had to be, and it kept me out of trouble. As such, I have some rather fond memories of Metroid 2 as it was one of the titles I was gifted with to hold my attention. And boy did it.

I never quite beat that game, as my young mind wasn’t quite yet fit enough to process the sprawling maps and intricacies of spin-jumping. But that didn’t matter.

It seems the guys of 8Bit Horse share my love of that classic game, and made it the latest in their line of super-involved 2d game breakdowns.

Soak it in, and bask in 2d greatness. via 8 bit horse
