This is the game that started it all. In Metroid, Samus Aran is dispatched to planet Zebes to destroy the mechanical lifeform Mother Brain, as well as exterminate all the mysterious lifeforms known as the Metroids. This game, which featured 8-bit graphics (which were top pf the line at the time), started one of Nintendo's most profitable and popular franchises.
