So your health is a timer -- each game, you need to try to get as deep as possible into the caves before it runs out. As you keep stubbornly pushing forward, your health gradually wears down, you start hearing the low-health beep, you deploy all your skills to make it just one more room, just one more room. And all the while, you have absolutely no idea how much further down you have left to go. That's pretty damn scary and exciting, to me.


This description makes Metroid sound particularly like a roguelike. Ironic. '

Incidentally, does anyone have a copy of M2 lying around? I suppose it might be too precious to trade, eh? I guess I could just order it...

Is it really *that* horrendous to emulate? What if you have a controller?
