After the release of Super Metroid in 1994, fans of the series couldn’t really be any happier. If only they knew the years of pain they’d be suffering soon after, as while Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda made their own critically-acclaimed jumps to the 3D space via the brand new Nintendo 64 console; …

“The last Metroid is in captivity. The Galaxy is at peace”. Never before has a videogame opened with such an unusual statement. After all, what is Super Metroid, the third game in the series, without its titular alien species? Lucky for you, me and gaming history, that statement is thankfully a short-lived one. But, it …

For the finale of Super Star Wars Month, we’re going back to the beginning to take a look at a game that was not to be – The SEGA Genesis Super Star Wars Prototype.

Super Star Wars: Return of The Jedi might be a bit friendlier than the previous game in terms of difficulty, but if you are still having some problems it might make you feel better to know you have a heap of cheat codes to fall back on.
