Did you manage at least to beat the final boss in some other way?

Super Metroid is immersion at its finest, and the magazines back then were an interesting (and colorful) source of information.

Seconding this. I made A LOT of research and Amazon purchases trying to find the best earbuds that fit your description. Tried Redmi buds, soundcore A40 and Liberty 4 NCs, and the Liberty 4 were the most confortable and with the best sound, and the noise canceling is simply out of this world.

You can’t go wrong with them.

From a time when VR was not still a thing 😂

When I was a kid, I enjoyed Super Mario World, Yoshi’s Island, Super Mario All stars and Terranigma the most. As an adult, Super Metroid and Crono Trigger. Super Metroid case is especially interesting since the site Metroid construction contains a lot of romhacks that make the game replayable to no end.

We all did that 😆

I played the hell out of DKC, trying to reach 101% without guides (those weren’t easily available back in the day), searching every single level and astonished when I found a secret.

It was an amazing feeling and yeah, I had much more time back then.

This is not my full collection, but it’s a small altar I built and I’m proud of it.

I don’t play those cartridges (I use other means), but my favorite is Super Metroid (the site metroidconstruction has a good stream of mods so the replayability is endless!)

I don’t think so. A translation, if expressed as a patch (e.g. in IPS format) is just a piece of code, neither a homebrew nor a rom by itself. It doesn’t count as a rom.

Playing mole mania. A small hidden gem from Shigeru Miyamoto, gotta say that it’s a simple, yet very interesting and challenging puzzle game for the Game Boy. I’ll see if I can show this game to my kids when they grow up!
