Metroid Deluxe
Created by: Deluxe Hacks
For use with: Metroid

This is a 100% complete patch: Most of the map was totally deleted so the game was built again from scratch. Items are moved, puzzles are changed, and there is no such thing as a dead end. The design is tight and professional. It is hard both mentally and physically and free of design flaws such as having to bomb arbitrary points in the floor or placing enemies so that you get smacked in the face on the way in or out of rooms. Metroid fans should love this! It's essentially a brand new NES Metroid game. If you like Metroid at all, you should pick this up!

 Metroid Invasion
Created by: Unknown
For use with: Metroid

Another remake of Metroid. While not as complete as the Deluxe version, Metroid Invasion is a worthy sequel to Samus Aran's first adventure.

Metroid Quest
Created by: MakoEyes
For use with: Metroid

This is a 95% graphics hack of the NES game, "Metroid." The game features Link (instead of Samus in suit) and a slightly modified Kid Icarus (instead of Samus out of suit). The enemies vary from games like Zelda 2, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man, and a few others. I recommend playing through the whole game to appreciate the full hack.

Metroid Remix
Created by: Litmus Dragon
For use with: Metroid

Metroid Remix uses the existing Zebes map as a starting point, then adds new areas, hides the items and bosses in new places, bumps the difficulty level up a notch, and adds Mini-Ridley to the game, hopefully adding replay value to one of the classic NES games of all time.

Metroid X
Created by: Rage Games
For use with: Metroid

This is a map edit for the original Metroid. Screens, enemy and item placement, palettes, text... you name it, it's been changed. The primary goal was to make the game more playable - the discerning player will note the careful placement of platforms and enemies to make jumps easier. Not that beating the game will be a cinch. The items are much more difficult to get, the corridors are contorted into winding mazes, and many of the energy tanks have been completely eliminated. Beating this version will be fun but it will not be effortless.
