Super Metroid

Descriptions:

On the planet Zebes, Space Pirates and their leader, the Mother Brain, are about to be caught out by the only hero that can stop them, Samus Aran. With a battle suit filled with powerful weapons and the ability to pull off amazing special moves, Samus must use all of her power to take down the Pirates and their leader.

The planet itself is filled with enemies, traps and deadly terrain. Using Samus' Grappling Beam, and other nifty items, you can traverse the landscape, while morphing into a fast ball device allows Samus to travel into hard to reach places. Power-ups also litter the levels, each helping Samus either with improvements to her weapons or her defensive output.

In 1994, the new Metroid game was released - Samus Aran had another mission. To rescue a larvae captured by skeleton bird Ridley. Ridley goes on to destroy the command centre where our precious creature has been captive since the last Metroid adventure.

There are many objects that Samus (our heroine) can equip herself with, including a Morphing Ball which allows Samus to curl up in a ball and roll through short passages and Missiles to give more firepower. The controls may be a little complicated at first, but you can customize them to suit your needs.
