Metroid Redux

A reverse-engineered take on the classic NES Metroid! Play what is (hopefully) a virtually indistiguishable rendition of the first 10 minutes of Metroid.

Also includes an original level featuring Samus' ball-dash, a classic ability that never made an appearance in the very first Metroid!
