Playing through the Metroid series again. I played through NES Troid recently and then again this weekend, and it was even rougher the second go around. I love Metroid so much, and I love the original for what it is, but I certainly can't say I am having fun when I play it

I am nearing the end of Metroid II. This holds up much better. Fewer (but not zero) sore Nintendo-hotline-bait spots, controls much better. The cramped screen and atmosphere were inspos for Demake86. I remember hating II when I last beat it as a kid in 2009, but I am having a blast.

I always thought "the Chozo engineered the Metroids to fight the X" was plot added-on to contrive a reason for Fusion. But, the final area departs from rocky-terrain and looks like a lab, replete with glass jars. Seems like worldbuilding. (Screenshot from OmegaMetroid.com)
