I dunno. I just set up DreamSNES for my son the other day and he played Metroid until we basically had to threaten to burn all of his toys just so he would put down the controller. But yeah, I guess speaking of myself there's not a lot of lasting interest there.

Metroid or Super Metroid?
IDK the one where you jump out of a crashing spaceship and explore some lonely tunnels.
That's Super Metroid. That's the Metroid I played first---on an emulator as well. It's one of the greatest games for the SNES.

I tried the NES original Metroid (also emulated) later, and I was surprised of how many of the game elements were already in place on the much weaker system.
