When I played it, I very often didn’t understand what I was supposed to do. That could’ve been my youth at fault, I haven’t played it since. But I know that when you die or reset the game, you lose all your money. I think that was why we kept it on. We thought we needed to buy something but didn’t know where. Also, the books you read only give you one chance to read them, so sections like kneeling with the red crystal might be impossible to figure out. 

Honestly though, after considering all this, I’m interested in taking you up on your recommendation. I’ll try it and see how it goes. I loved the idea of Simons quest and I still respect it for having all of that potential way back before anyone else was doing that stuff. Thanks for the recommendation. 

A tip is to have pen and paper by you and write down tid bits that seem important yourself. 

I like the game because it's no bull shit hand holding in it.

I could see where some parts would lose all challenge if you know the tricks. I like the original Metroid for the no handholding aspect too. I like when I get to figure stuff out.
