morciu: oh boy... I have been grinding and running around in circles for days until I got fed up and decided to google for a game manual online. I had no idea the red doors open after multiple rocket shots, I shot them once with the rocket and figured I was missing some powerup and moved on looking for it... I felt like a moron when i read that.
Now with the longer bullet range the game started getting more fun.
Glad to hear you're enjoying Metroid. I remember that from so many years ago, the first issue of Nintendo Power had maps of all of the areas, I can't imagine finishing the game without a map of some type.
