Thanks for the clarification!

The last Metroid game I hat got taken down was a rom hack, wasnt it?

I see it like this: as someone who loves to replay games, there’s always going to be a certain thrill and warm-gooey familiarity of playing through your favorite beginning sections of something again, because you’re going back to a time and mental headspace where you’re (generally) always going to remember what our…
