094: SUPER METROID
Manage episode 455948291 series 2988817
In this continuation of our “All-Time Favorite Games” series (see Episode 046 for Super Mario World!), we dive into the grunge-era brilliance of Super Metroid. Gabe rates the 1994 classic against other retro titles he has played for the show, while we explore its modern gaming influence, iconic Brinstar theme, and fascinating trivia—including near cancellations and Samus’ almost risqué death scene. Inspired by the game’s tension, we bring back “Escape the Show,” alongside Gabe and Charlie’s hilarious new suit upgrades (spaghetti grappling hook, anyone?). A celebration of fear, isolation, and angsty brilliance, Super Metroid remains a timeless legend.
