Yep. Just got it in the mail a few days ago.
I've read here at these very boards that people think this game is too easy. It seems to be just about right for me, so I'm happy.
Also, I've never before seen any NES instruction manuals. The Metroid manual seems relatively classy - background story, slick paper, full color artwork. Were all or most NES manuals that good?
Lastly, I don't want any walkthroughs/spoilers/answers, so I haven't searched anywhere online yet for anything about the game. BUT, could any of you share any tips on the game, without giving away any secrets?
