Wow, anyone else ever heard of this? I just checked out the demo, and it actually seems very promising. Metroid II is the only Metroid I've never finished, if this gets completed ... maybe that'll change!

The gameplay is very much Zero Mission-like, and well it just seems awesome.

>Link to Demo<

Development seems pretty far and stable too, so it definitely looks like this could be completed.

This makes me go .

I too, have never been able to beat this one. I'm downloading the demo now. I hope it runs okay...

EDIT: It's sweeeeeet! It runs a little slow in a window with sound, but otherwise, an awesome demo! GET IT NOW!

There's even collectible missile tanks! Now that's awesome.

Works fine for me. It's pretty good, the only problem I have so far is the way the metroid just zooms towards you, not more slowly like in the original. And that they don't use music from the original game for the most part, but that may change later. This looks awesome.

I have to say that this is awesome! It totally feels like a brand-new Metroid II. I loved how when you went down the elevator, it got dark until the flashlight kicked in. Just little things like that made this a high point of my day. I'll have to keep tabs on this.

It's hard to tell if they're using parts of it. I'm not sure even if the original alpha fight music was involved in the making of the one used here that I'd be able to recognize it. Although... If nothing else, I distinctly heard the (caves? normal adventuring music, I'd say) on piano for a large part. It sounded nice.

I just now realized how truly irritating Metroid 2's title music is. DING! DING! in that lovely classic GB soundfont.

This seems pretty cool. I just hope they speed up running a bit, since it's rather... slow. Otherwise, they're also missing the ability to turn into a ball midair.

Seems very nice otherwise. The lighting effects seemed very cool, although I know they don't really make or break the game.

Even with the music disabled it runs slower than molasses on my computer. I'm surprised I even got to the Alpha Metroid before quitting. All I have to say so far is that elevators do not belong on SR-388.

There is also another 'remake' project going on by a different author, who has a very different philosophy.

Hmm, maybe it's your graphics driver, this is a Gamemaker game, and I remember that alot of Gamemaker games used to run like crap on my computer, but updating my graphics driver drastically increased speed. Also, I kinda agree on the elevator part, but it's not like it kills the game.
