Super Metroid Eris (2012)
Super Metroid Eris is by far the best ROM hack of Super Metroid that I have played so far, which might not be that hard to accomplish, since I can only name a few really enjoyable Super Metroid ROM hacks that I've beaten so far (Super Zero Mission and Super Metroid Phazon). However, this game is kind of amazing when you think about it. I almost thought that the gameplay quality and atmosphere was even better than that of the original Super Metroid for SNES.

This game can be very frustrating, as some key items are incredibly well-hidden, some boss battles are ridiculously annoying, and, for better or worse, the game follows a very rough sequence. There are 4 artifacts scattered around Eris, and you must collect all 4 in order to access the final area of the ga... Read the rest of this Review
