origonal mode

The game looks squashed in origonal mode for some resaon. The classic NES Metroid seems find but the zero mission one has a squashed look, and those spiked round crawly things look unusal (not round)

Be afraid. Be very afraid. For at some point, SoaponaRope will be called into this topic.

Maybe.

BE AFRAID.

You call it squashed. Those of us who live in the 21st century call it widescreen.

I think it looks squashed... or at least I know I thought that last I bothered looking at it, comparing it to the 'version' on MP.

LOL WUT?

Hmm, that Kraid looks kind of round (not unusal).

It is a little know fact that the GBA can also display images in 1080i. The process involves 3 teaspoons of olive oil, a brick, 2 eggs, a twelve gauge shotgun, 6 chickens and used bubble gum. MacGyver did it once.

Hated by all

Yeah, instead of the square 4:3 block format, it's compressed into a widescreen 16:9 block format (which would make a ROM difference between the classic cartridge and Zero Mission version). Even TileLayer Pro could discern this, maybe.
