What are some old-school games similar to pic related?
Looking for:
>going into dangerous areas and hunting/killing something to advance
>scary/creepy creature and environment designs
>platforming elements, maybe some action as well
>preferably sci-fi themed, but I'll take fantasy as well
This game is Konami's first "metroidvania", before Symphony of the Night, give it a try.
How about Air Fortress for NES?
I imagine Baraduke is similar but probably less exploration-oriented.
Castlevania kinda fits that. Not exactly. It's great anyway.

Super Mario Bros.
If that's not your cup of tea, try another game called Sonic the Hedgehog

Are you trying to imply that OP has generic taste?

demon's crest on snes is pretty legit

It doesn't have platforming elements, but has the other stuff that you've mentioned.

Ignoring that the term metroidvania was coined to refer to SotN, pic related would like to have a word with you.

Also I recommend it for you.

>going into dangerous areas and hunting/killing something to advance
You can jump over most enemies so you're not hunting/killing to advance. You're running/jumping to advance.
>scary/creepy creature and environment designs
In Mario? Are you serious? What in Mario is scary to you?

I feel Simon's Quest is more like a Zelda II-type adventure game, you know? Still yeah, definitely served as a kind of basis for SOTN later on, but TMNT III Radical Rescue really has a lot in common with Metroid and SOTN, more than Simon's Quest.
Don't quote me on that but I think some of the staff who worked on Radical Rescue went on to work on SOTN.
