Metroid

Metroid is the first game in the Metroid series of video games, and was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. The game was produced by Gunpei Yokoi, one of Nintendo's most famous game and hardware designers, and directed by Yoshio Sakamoto. The game is also very notable for its music, which was composed by Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka.
