Lol, gotta watch out for that energy overload on the energy reactor cannon, Bloodsonic. 
My own aesthetic presentation has been humbled.

I got bored and reviewed some of the hacks' teasers (the ones I'm looking forward to.)
This hack still gets me the most. I can't figure out why (I think it's the colors and construction... they kind of just hit all the right spots.)
This helps me remember when I believed Metroid games were going to remain somewhat artsy and creepy.

Well, review doesn't necessarily mean that I wrote a dozen paragraphs explaining the high points and low points of a given hack. It just means that I came back through here and checked out all the teaser videos and screen shots of the hacks I'm looking forward to (Impulsion, Eris, possibly Aegis, possibly Genesis, and even First Horizon.) I suppose I could write up some reviews this weekend, but I'm not sure the community really needs somebody to tell them whether or not a hack sucks. (I still might because it would be fun, and perhaps useful to some new comers looking for some Metroid action.)
Quote from Quietus:
Nah, probably not necessary. I just saw 'reviewed', and assumed that's what you meant, but I think you just meant you looked back over them, as in 're-viewed'. 
That would be correct. That being said, DMantra, from one artist to another, cheers! Your music and aesthetics are great!
I know he said he wasn't going to do it (or -he didn't plan on doing it)... Putting in his custom music into the game. But would he be able to have midi versions of some of his songs? Maybe someone could put them in at a future date, then re-release the hack with the new tunes.
Then again... As many (official) tracks as there are for 'Echoes of Eris' -- I'm thinking those would outnumber the ....eh, number of tunes presently in Super Metroid.
So maybe all wouldn't be able to be used....? I dunno.
Sorry if this has been discussed (and settled) before.

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!
Quote from Gaius_4:
It probably wouldn't be very... proper(?) to do such a thing, especially since Acheron called dibs on the custom music anyway. And Aegis and Cliffhanger were presented as WiPs at around the same time.
Nobody has any form of monopoly of hacking, though. If anybody wanted to keep any ideas secret, the best they could hope for would be to not mention them, and hope that nobody else comes up with the same idea before the release of their hack.
I personally think it's better the other way, where everybody shares everything all the time.
If I do believe so myself, nobody can call dibs on anything. Hacking in general is modification of game data, whether it is level data, pickups, enemies, music, and combinations therein. Changing music to something you like isn't something one person can claim....otherwise people would be claiming similar layouts. We're here to share, not plagiarize each other. Why else would we have a Misc. Hacking Patches thread, SMILE Help Topic, and are willing to help people on IRC?
