| MDbtroid | PC/Mac | Infinity's End | 17.3k .zip |

Metroid Presented by the Metroid Database, or "MDbtroid" for short, is basically a graphical hack of the original NES game. The game has been improved upon in many different ways, including Samus's animation cycle, redrawn and enlarged bosses, a beautiful new opening title screen, new ending graphics, new Suitless Samus sprites, and all the enemies have been carefully redrawn. See the included .txt file for more details on what else has been changed.
For the full MDbtroid experience, we also recommend you play the game utilizing the Lua Script created by Neill Corlett (FCEUX is required). This script allows you to play the game with a minimap and timer in the upper left corner, adds a map and an inventory screen when you pause, and gives you the ability to turn off your items at will! It also gives you full health and missiles after death. Playing Metroid has never been this much fun!
You'll need the MDbtroid patch, an IPS patch utility ,
a NES emulator, and the Metroid ROM. A Readme containing instructions for use is included in the zip file.

Metroid Omega is basically a graphical update to the original Metroid which gives the game a more similar style to that of Super Metroid.
The Samus sprite has been given a complete overhaul, as well as the enemies (like Metroids and Mother Brain) and level tiles. The ending graphics have also been changed.
The only level of the game that has been edited is Brinstar, but it's still worth giving it a playthrough.
You'll need the Metroid Omega patch, an IPS patch utility, an NES emulator, and the Metroid ROM.
| Metroid Genocide NEW! | PC/Mac | Dude Man | 19.6k .rar |
)
)
Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Quite possibly the best Metroid hack ever made! Metroid Genocide is a 100% brand-new game, with every single tile and graphic meticulously edited and restructured into something
completely different. The game is unrelenting in its difficulty - the designer even disabled the NARPASSWORD so you can't easily run through the game.
An absolute must-download for anyone looking for a new Metroid game to play.

)
)
Have you ever wanted to be able to individually turn your items off in Metroid Zero Mission ala Super Metroid? Well, now you can! This patch restores a functionality that was still embedded into the game's code (debug mode). Just go to the item screen in the menu, select an item and push SELECT to turn it on or off.
You'll need the Menu Hack patch, an IPS patch utility, a GameBoy Advance emulator, and the Metroid Zero Mission ROM.

The graphics and AI code for Crocomire have been found in Metroid Zero Mission. And now, you can battle him! This small little hack is just for fun -- though you can fight Crocomire, it is unbeatable. It's still neat to see that our favorite Norfair miniboss almost made it into the game.
You'll need the Menu Hack patch, an IPS patch utility, a GameBoy Advance emulator, and the Metroid Zero Mission ROM.

| Metroid Password Generator | Windows | SnowBro | 178k .zip |
This is a program that I've been wanting ever since I started the MDb back in 1996: A password generator for the original Metroid! Choose your parameters such as weapons, location, and more, and the program will give you a password that you can use on NES Metroid which will put you right where you want to be with the weapons you want to use. Another awesome piece of software courtesy of SnowBro.
NOTE: This app has been supremely outdone by emuWorks' Generator below. We recommend using that one instead.
| Metroid Password Checksum Calculator | Windows | Tapper | 16k .zip |
Tapper's Metroid Password Checksum Calculator is a utility that essentially lets you edit the last two digits of the Metroid 1 passwords (the checksum) until the password is valid. You can use this in conjunction with SnoBro's Metroid Password Generator to determine what the password actually does.

)
This is a relatively new Password Generator for the original Metroid. Advancing SnoBro's legendary app to new heights, this one has everything you need to make any password you want.
The app gives you plenty of customizable options including start location, missile count, and a specific game time. If there is one Metroid Password
Generator to rule over all others, this is the one! Mac OSX and Linux users aren't left in the dark, either -- the .zip contains the apps for all 3 platforms.
| Editroid 2.0a NEW! | Windows | snarfblam | 663k .zip |
)
)
Another excellent utility that allows you to hack the original Metroid into pretty much any way you want it! Feature-rich and user-friendly, Editroid is a tile-editor's dream.
This utility is not only an amazing Metroid editor, but probably one of the best NES game editors ever made. Editroid 2.0 is in an Alpha phase right now,
but there is an earlier release build available that may be more stable.
A METROID ROM IS REQUIRED TO USE THIS EDITOR.
