Two Cool Retro Game: Megaman 7 & Metroid Confrontration

I found this cool little demake of Megaman 7 which makes Megaman 8 the new black sheep in terms of graphical continuity. This is the stripped down version of Megaman 7 all recreated with the NES make over. Ironically the game looks and plays much better than its SNES big brother and fix issues many fans have been complaining about since day one. I haven’t been able to play much since I’m still at work and I’m not sure if this game is even compatible with my Mac BUT the game seems faithful to the source and as a freebie, I’m not going to complain all that much. My only grip is that they didn’t make this “port” based on actual NES hardware spec, so no PowerPak love for me. Anywho, download this game here and look for the file named: ver.final2.

While we are on the subject of fan created sequels and remakes, check out the video below of Metroid : Confrontation. True, it’s not the true remake sequel of Metroid II but it looks like a whole new game created by the same guy who is recreating the Metroid II fan-sequel, which should make the hardcore Super Metroid fans very happy. Try out the tech demo or watch the video for some awesomeness.
