eeeeyyaaghhh!

Zeke's last post in this thread is almost 10 months old.... I don't think we'll be seeing anything new. Also, carlmmii hasn't been around for just as long, which is longer than he usually leaves for.

The logic in your words makes little horscht(i) sad. :(

Time bomb set get out fast!

Sorry, missed this before. horscht(i), are you aware that there is an any% run? carlmmii did several back in '05, culminating with the first run to break the one-hour mark. It was big news at the time. Here's the SDA page for Return of Samus; you'll find carl's 59:49 there. Our reactions are in this thread.

I still love RoS, but I doubt I'll ever record a run myself unless I think of some gimmick for it. I would have to put some serious time in to topple carl's run -- if it can even be done. (We'd need a major discovery or innovation to improve on it by much.) Also, I've already got two Metroid hack runs on the back burner.

I share your desire to see more runs, and I don't share Gamma's pessimism. Because this is an old game, the board goes quiet sometimes -- and because it's a classic, sooner or later we come back.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I know his runs.
Sad to hear, you won`t run the game. But I agree there`d one or more new tricks necessary.
