I recently picked this game up for $5 at a used video game store. A few minutes before posting this, I was playing it for the first time on my ORIGINAL Game Boy (the thick gray model w/ green screen) that I've owned since kindergarten.
When I started hearing this theme, I just had to plug my headphones in. Despite my GB's finicky volume control, the music still sent chills down my spine with its dark yet very catchy awesomeness.
OMG! This was my favorite game for Gameboy! How I loved it! I used to just make Samus run back and forth and jump off walls just to listen to this music! BTW, does anyone know the next step after reaching that blocky place? I got lost and still can't find the Mother Brain.
Ah yes, good times. Whenever I think of this game and this song, I remember when I was 10 and I was playing Game Boy the entire road trip to the Grand Canyon. 3 day trip and Metroid II to keep me entertained. :)
Too bad the other music isn't of this quality. It's simple atmospheric noise, which isn't bad and really helps the...... atmosphere, but I'd rather have swinging tunes like this instead of those scary noises.
How in the HELL your nepew thinks that samus is megaman and spiderman?!..I mean if he's like 8 or young, then it's understandable but still...HUH?! :/
Tell me, you send all of the music from Metroid 1 and 2, you dont likes the musics from other metroid ? I said that because there are also very good music in recent Metroids.
Yes, i love the recent metroid music! My project is just to upload all the metroid music from the very 1st metroid game all the way to metroid prime 3. I've just been lazy and havn't been posting music lately.
Brentalfloss needs to do this with lyrics!

They need to use this theme in a Metroid game soon. Metroid II is underrated at points.

This was the first game I got for my GameBoy Pocket. I used to play this all day! I still have it lying around somewhere...

It was really impressive what you could do with the Game Boy's wave pattern... it still is impressive.

How many other 8-bit songs had the audacity to include backmasked percussive hits in the arrangement. This game, this song - this IS the 90's.

^_^ This makes me think of Samus running underneath the starry night sky.

I put this window up and my nepew said IT'S MEGA MAN IT'S MEGA MAN! I said NO!
Then he said IT'S SPIDERMAAAAN!
Nooo it's samus.
then he ran in circles saying samus.
5/5 I love this theme I like to just run around and listen to it :D

He is 2.
How could he tell the difference from something that he knows little about?
He had barely turned 2 when I posted that comment, now he's almost 3.

Obviously, Samus is a combination of Mega Man and Spider Man. I guess it makes sense, considering the arm cannon and the Spider Ball upgrade...

They used all the same music for the GB version of Metroid, which was the first one I ever played. Lots of great memories.

I am filled with nostalgia when I hear this.
My favorite as a kid growing up.. sometimes I'd just fall asleep to it and not even play the game. lol
I've tried remixing this a few times.. got busy with other stuff. This needs a solid reimx though.
