Description

This is the first quest that I have made. It was by no means meant to be an official game. I made it just to test how the system and bigger bosses worked before making my official Metroid game. However, after building it and adding more to it, it turned out to be a pretty decent game. This game is a combination of Metroids 1, 2, and 3. I wanted to recapture the atmosphere of the NES Metroid, so all the characters and environments look like the original. There's also no map (like the original), but you should still be able to navigate the areas easily. While most of the bosses have NES graphics, some of my favorite bosses (like Kraid) were upgraded to SNES graphics. All of the great Metroid songs are packed in as well. This game was mostly built for nostolgic purposes, so it is not the hardest game. But, if you want a challenge, you can find it in this game as well. That is, if you know where to look. Like all Metroid games, it's filled with secret paths and areas. I hope you enjoy it.

Story

The evil Space Pirates have captured a new life-absorbing creature discovered on SR388. They brought it back to their base on the planet Zebes to control it and threaten galactic peace. Several teams have been sent to try to stop the plans of the Space Pirates, but all have failed against the power of the Mother Brain and her army of fearsome creatures. Now Samus Aran, the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter, must destroy the Space Pirates' operations on planet Zebes, and put an end to the threat of the new creatures called, "Metroids".

Hints and/or Cheats

There are 2 hidden areas and a secret monster in this game. The secret monster was originally going to be the final boss for my game. However, I decided that the original Mother Brain would be more nostolgic in the end. All of these secrets are found somewhere in Brinstar. Just keep shooting the walls with different weapons and eventually you'll run across them. Note: There is a Phazon Suit somewhere in one of the secret areas. Have fun finding that one!
