The 84C edidition would most likely need to get rid of parallax scrolling and have the background never move vertically (if any) to ensure decent vertical scrolling speed.

Yes i agree that comprises will need to be made, but still a full colour Metroid on 84C ... that would be awesome.

But not to hijack the Casio thread, it looks fantastic! Hopefully they will finish/extend this!

@DJ_O vertical corridors that function as a hub are what defines the 2d metroid games. Dropping vertical scrolling is not an option.

Do you think it would be fine if it was changed to Super Mario Bros 2-like vertical scrolling (which is exactly like in Zelda: Links Awakening)?

Else I guess maybe when the screen is scrolling vertically, it could trigger temporary frame-skipping, so that moving up/down won't slow down the game action. It could possibly be acceptable, I guess, plus it wouldn't be that bad if 160x240 mode was used. People would probably just come to the conclusion that the calculator hardware is just too limited.

As for the Casio PRIZM game, I hope it gets finished too. :)

I split this off from the other topic because it seemed to be a pretty interesting discussion. :D As far as vertical scrolling goes, I don't really think it's necessary in a metroid game. It could easily transition to the next screen when you reach the top or bottom of a vertical section much like DJ's BASIC + XLIB Metroid games did.

That reminds me, tr1p posted a nice Samus sprite last night on IRC. Sadly I lost the URL but maybe he could repost it here or make a mockup of a possible Metroid game for the calc using it.

Here is the sprite i posted, its just a mockup but i added some running frames (sprites are 24x24):



Here is the running animation, obviously there are usually more frames to Samus's running but its just a start (scaled 2x):

Really good tr1p1ea. I love how true to Metroid it is and how many details there are despite the smaller resolution.

How about porting this game:

Graphics are scaled up 3x I think, but the movement is still in 1x pixels.
