Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Sakamoto seems to be the George Lucas of video games, in that when faced with creative and technological limitations of the era he pops out something brilliant like Super Metroid, but when given unlimited power he makes… Other Goddamn M.

    It makes me wonder; if the Nintendo Playstation had happened, would Super Metroid be like that? Other M but with 16-bit anime cutscenes?

    Excellent piece on Super Metroid’s brilliance.

    One thing, though: I think you’re a little too dismissive of Metroid II: Return of Samus. There’s actually quite a bit of subversive stuff in there, as this article (http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/SRHoliwell/20150130/235329/A_Maze_of_Murderscapes_Metroid_II.php) describes really well.
