So after playing Metroid Zero Mission on emulator I decided to

theres pipes that infinitely spawn helmet things you can farm for ammo/health

Id also recommend playing this instead. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1186/

The games really fun, but if you die at a certain part, you have to farm back from just 30 health and it sucks ass

Just go find one of those pipes that spits bugs out infinitely and have at it. Probably the best way to fill your health up besides finding an energy tank.

Thanks.

I was currently in Kraid's Lair but it looks like I'll have to backtrack and farm at one of the pipes in Crateria.

Also, I don't have a flash cart and am running on a traditional NES through Framemeister, but I appreciate the suggestion!

Draw a map, kill enemies for health and missles, find any patterns in the walls and floor that look weird and blow them up with your bombs, after you defeat Kraid and Ridley, reacquire the Ice Beam to use against the Metroids in Tourian.

Yeah, drawing a map sounds like a good idea.

I'm sitting on 3 energy tanks and 25 missiles right now and so far have picked up morph ball, bombs and long beam.

>An anon is playing Metroid NES blind & will draw a map.
Cherish your first run. You'll never get another.

Good idea, now I gotta figure out how to find him.

Last I played Zero Mission, Norfair / Ridley's Lair was to the right of Kraid's Lair.

Guess I'll go looking around.

Yeah it's quite a blast going into this nearly blind, as it's been awhile since I beat Zero Mission and it was my first time clearing that game, so my memory of where everything is is pretty much like playing the game new.

Should be fun to adventure through this.

>>385071872
For me when I play I like the challenge so I usually go after Kraid first since his lair is already next to Brinstar anyway.

Eh, it's just old and clunky. I'm noy sure how you can play that mess and enjoy it. The AM2R guys should try a remake of that next, it would be cool to have them fix all the retarded shit Sakamoto put it.

Thats good for a challenge, but for first time players I think it's a nice advice

Zero mission too faggot

Oh man, I'm happy for you! I did a NES Metroid blind run too a couple years back, Wii VC version plugged into an old CRT TV, it was the only Metroid I'd never played aside from Metroid II and I really enjoyed it.

Well, it wasn't 100% blind since I got stuck on some parts, but I was immersed in that 80s vibe, so I actually downloaded a pdf of the original Nintendo Power issue that came with a Metroid walkthrough and used that whenever I got stuck.
