Who here have played Metroid?

I was introduced to the series through Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime, but I was introduced to Samus herself through Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64. After that I acquired Metroid Zero Missions and got to play the original Metroid for the NES after I beat it. I rented Metroid Prime 2, but didn't get very far on it. I've yet to play Return of Samus or Super Metroid, but Zero Missions is a pretty good fill in since it combines the first and second games together.

Discuss.
