So, if you've been on IRC recentally you may have seen me with the word "Mansion" as part of my nick, and the most I told anyone at any time (besides certan people) is that it's a project name, after whiping up some code http://cdi.calcgames.org/CalcStuffs/HSPLT.txt I began adding things, like doors, and a gun, and enemies... Then I thought to myself, "well, since this will be a platformer, I need good test maps" so I dug up the original 4 test maps for http://omnimaga.unitedti.org/metroid.zip I noticed that this was pretty fun, I added in a morph ball like ability, and all of a sudden I had Metroid, on the homescreen. At first I decided NOT to do this game, because last time I did, it took 5 months and countless hours of work, and I'm still not done with it...

But then K

awesome stuff CDI, You'll show what can be done on homescreen in pure basic once more! Keep up the good work!

This makes me want to go play the original Metroid... and maybe code on of my own

hmm... actually, I have an OLD Metroid engine on my 89TE that I was going to fix up (now that I know how to code) maybe I can do something with that... hmm... all in due time though...

I finished Kraid, when you go to fight him you have to hit him when his mouth is open, 9 times, expect that to take a bit of practice, because you cannot hit him from behind. Next up is the 2nd Boss (I still don't have a name for it) then it'll go down to the final boss (or IS it??!?)

I replaced the Varia Suit with missiles today too, they don't do anything much, but they do 2x damage to Mother Brain, so they are worth the time.

And for after you beat Mother Brain you have to get out, quick! The only way to do that is to get to the surface, because al of a sudden, everything is filled with lava!

I was thinking about replacing Mother Brain with something else... maybe Ridly? Maybe I can replace the 2nd boss with Ridly? Only... I forget how Ridly works? idk... maybe I'll whip something cool up!
