Metroid II Expansion released!
« on: November 10, 2007, 07:16:00 pm »
Metroid II: The Last Chozo Expansion Set has finally been released! For those who don't know, Metroid II: Evolution is a sequel to the game that introduced the world of Samus Aran to TI calculators, which can be found here http://omnimaga.org/index.php?showtopic=165 . It features many items from the original metroid like the morph ball, the bombs, the wave beam, etc, fake walls, destroyable blocks, full of secret, awesome graphics, many traps, animations, several areas to explore (over 250 maps) and many things that will make your adrenaline increase to insane proportions while playing (lava that keep rising while you attempt to make your way to the top of the room by jumping on platforms, difficult bosses, traps and many more. Recommended for TI-83+SE, 84+ and 84+SE!

So WHAT'S NEW in this enhanced version of Metroid II: Evolution? Well, first, there is an improvement made in the game engine. Pressing ALPHA now make Samus switch direction instead of having to walk one step back to do so, thus, you no longer have to jump or end up accidentally falling when you want to shoot something while standing on a one block wide platform. Second improvement is graphical: The HUD (showing energy, energy tanks and items found) no longer dissapears when you enter through an hatch, it now stay on the screen, like the original Metroid games.

So that's all? Nothing else new that justify that version number increase? Well, the most major improvement in the game is all the new secret maps and energy tanks that were added in the game, as well as a secret item. Just explore everywhere and you will find them. Some may be obvious, but the largest new room set added in the game is actually the less obvious, thus, hardest one to find, and it is where 4 of the new energy tanks (two of which are very hard to get) are located. I hope you find them because you may find an interesting surprise here. ;)wink.gif

Very nice game!   :)smile.gif   I can't wait to play it! (i'm downloading it right now)


btw: The readme file has the wrong installation code.  The readme states that the code is 79348, but the REAL code is 79438(its in the code).  Without the correct code, the game won't work! (it took me like 10 minutes to figure it out)

hmm I was sure it was the right one, I even tried it, let me check...

EDIT: Darn you're right, I must have accidentally messed up some code while checking for bugs in the difficulty mode menu, it's fixed now :Swacko.gif

If this runs as fast on-calc as it does on Wabbit, then I've found entertainment for the next 2 days :Dbiggrin.gif.

EDIT: I have entertainment for at least 3 days.  AWESOME!  I daresay it runs as fast as Metroid Pi now :)smile.gif.  

If it didn't take up so much room, I'd work on Metroid Pi2 because of this XDsmiley.gif.

uhm the thing is that the original ran at the same speed than this one o.oblink.gif

it actually run slighty slower than metroid Pi, but yeah good luck finding the new rooms they're pretty close to where u get the bombs :Ptongue.gif(above)

What's with the disclaimer :???:confus.gif , now you're starting to sound depressed.
