You are called Samus Aran.
You are a bounty hunter, 
and you are famous because
you killed the last 
Metroid years ago...

At least, 
you thought you did.

Metroids are dangerous
alien lifeforms with 
the ability to suck
life-energy from living
organisms.  If they are
allowed to grow, they
would threaten peace in
the galaxy.  That is 
why it is your duty to
destroy them.

Your first encounter
was on the planet Zebes.
That planet has been 
eradicated. 

Your second encounter
was at the Metroid's
home world, SR388.
This planet was also
destroyed.

Your final encounter
was at the planet 
Garnyth, where the
final Metroid egg
was believed to have
been destoyed...

Put on a planet in the 
far end of the galaxy, 
located in sector X, 
explorers picked up life
readings, and they went
in to investigate.

On their scanner, they
picked up strange energy 
signatures, the kind 
emmited from a metroid 
egg. From these readings, 
they deduced that five
metroid eggs existed 
deep inside the planet's
surface.  They also 
discovered an immense
enemy fortress, built
in the same fashion as
the one in planet
Garnyth.

     Our Leaders believe
that the space pirates 
from Garnyth must have 
escaped with DNA samples 
of the Metroid egg.
They left the egg behind
in a vault that could
only have been opened
with five keys.  You 
found all the keys,
opened the vault, and
destroyed the egg in
your last adventure,
and then the planet 
Garnyth was destroyed
to eliminate any
possible threat.
     It seems as if 
the enemy left the egg
as a decoy, so that 
they could escape with
DNA from the baby 
Metroid.  Now they are
hiding far acrossed
the galaxy on a planet
we refer to as
"Planet X."

Your Mission:

     To infiltrate 
Planet X, find and
capture the five 
Metroid Eggs, and 
destroy the enemy
compound.  
     There are 
six Enemy Zones.
You will enter the
planet in Zone 0.
From there, you must
penetrate the planet's
surface and find
Zone 1.  
     Zone's 1 thru 5
contain one Metroid 
Egg each.  You must 
take the Zones in 
order.  You must also
eradicate any aliens
you find.
     When this is done, 
proceed to their space
docks and capture an 
enemy vessel.  Use this
craft to escape.  

   Good Luck!
