if a 3rd person metroid...

[Desert Drifter]

Right right, I must have stretched your imaginative limits to hard. Must stop kidding our selves and get back to reality. There never will be such a game anyways

Ah... so "it's" a coverup for another title in the works as the words "Metroid" and "Samus" are used as "decoys"...

[ulaoulao]

OH Did I type that? I mean metropolis and Samuel.

OH Did I type that? I mean metropolis and Samuel.

Ah, jeeze Ulao - wouldn't even expected it, even with that avatar of yours "screaming" Samus and captioned "time for something new". Never would of thought it would be Samuel in the Metropolis instead. Guess I must get my eyes checked... Hey, what the heck do I know - it's not like we're buddies and chat in private.

Have fun with that project of yours pal - what ever it may be...

A prank? Ah, come on Ulao, stop messing with my head.

[ulaoulao]

I like it good thinking.

It's playable but no run walk etc. animation. I'm going to work that all out first. The AVI was real time let me know if you didnt get to m$MP to play it.

[Desert Drifter]

Yeah bud - got a prank video, though downloaded for possible future play when Micro$oft's evol software stops playing games with my head...

Hope this does it for ya - your Metroid clone... I mean Super Turrican... uh... what was it now...?

[ulaoulao]

Turrican, LOL. Lots said thats was a clone of metroid. But I guess Metroid is like a Pink Floyd song, there is just no touching it. You can remake it, but cloning is just not gong to work.


I like the lay out, stick with it for now.

[AnAutisticDog]

If there was a 3d Metroid.......it would suck.

I want a new 2d sidescroller

[ulaoulao]

new?? you know there are hundreds right???


I mean have you seen this??
