The story
The Nintendo Entertainment System brought cartridge-based Nintendo games to North America in 1985. Its original adventures often leave navigation and record keeping to the player. These guides explain the NES versions, with routes, prerequisites and recovery advice for the places where a missed item or an unexplained clue can stop progress.
Start with Metroid for a route through Zebes, its equipment upgrades and the escape from Tourian. Choose Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest for the five-mansion quest, crystal puzzles and the journey to Dracula. Each walkthrough separates required progress from optional rewards and includes original NES reference images.
