Wow, that's some good art.

"No Need for Justin" is a Metroid-inspired work by Lesley Reppeteaux. I have no idea what the title means.

Justin Bailey ring a bell? It was a cheat code for Metroid. Let you play without the suit, all the energy tanks, all the power ups, and most of the missles. It had various starting locations and starting weapons, depending on your use of hyphens for the second line of the code.
