As fate would have it, when I first saw Metroid as a kid, my friends had used the Justin Bailey code and I remember seeing this woman running around shooting bubbles (the Wave Beam). I had no idea who she was or that the game was Metroid. I mistook the jumping sound effects for voice work, so I though she was saying "oops!" everytime she she leaped in the air! LOL.
I think at some point, they reset the game and played it as normal. So when I saw samus running around in her regular power suit, I assumed it was a male character and thought he must have been strong than the lady because he's wearing armor. My lack of understanding always cracks me up when I think about my first encounter with Metroid.
Also, I agree that Zero Mission is a great alternative if you want to play the same mission with better gameplay elements.
