Hey Lionel, nice to hear from you.  I've used ingramb for anything I've released, but any name is fine.

You can also turn different powerups on/off in game, by pressing [Apps], and then [2nd].  Notably, you can combine the different beam weapons like in Super Metroid, but you can also disable powerups for more challenge, or whatever.

Sadly I'm not much of a calculator programmer anymore.  I still check in on things once in a while, but the 68k scene seems kind of dead.

You are *supposed* to start with just 99 energy, and then pressing the shift key gives you all the powerups.  I guess I could have had all the powerups enabled at the start in the build I released...I will take a look.  I haven't even compiled any 68k code in years, so I don't have any of the dev tools set up.  But it should be just a matter of removing a few lines to disable the cheating :-)  Not all of the powerups are placed in the world yet, but there are a decent number that can be found.

I am the author of Metroid 89.  I'm glad you guys found it and are having fun with it.  A few more things to try...

* You can wall jump and infinite bomb jump.
* You can run by double tapping left/right.  If you have the speed booster upgrade, you will eventually reach super speed where you can break blocks and destroy enemies.  You can also shinespark.
* There is one boss in the included levels: The Chozo statue from Super Metroid.  Kraid and Ridley are both programmed in the engine, but they are sadly not yet placed in the world.
* The areas you can reach are: Cave, Wrecked ship, Surface, Temple, and Norfair.  The world is quite large...I'd estimate it rivals Super Metroid in size.  Many area are sparse or incomplete however.
* There are many secrets to find by using bombs/missiles/speed booster/etc.
