This movie has been obsoleted!

Click here to see the new movie.
This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... it was among the earliest timeattacks on the site. Thus, the gameplay is very poor. It was played on a 20-FPS Famtasia at 70% speed without ever stopping the movie (i.e. mistakes that were accidentally saved weren't undone).

The movie is noted for being the first attempt at Metroid and for introducing the basic strategy that has been used in subsequent attempts (getting missiles from Kraid and then freezing a rio in order to gain access into Tourian).
