Nice work Ryan! These are awesome rips
You've been doing some awesome work here! And I never even heard of this game!
That's really nice of you to dedicate your spare time to us Ryan - I really appreciate the help.
Also, best of luck in your search from Biology based work.. Tough field, especially at the moment with this economy. Although saying that, getting any job is hard at the moment.
Retail does suck, as well - at least it did where I was. Hope you're working somewhere nice though!
Super job! How many areas ARE in this game??? :o
About 46 areas.
There are also 2 DS Metal Max Games out.
Metal Saga
Metal Max 3
Very difficult to rip from though because I when I disable the Backgrounds, the sprites disappear also, Also since there is no walkthrough, It will be near impossible to figure anything out. If you guys know any good emulators that can bypass the Background problems, please feel free to try.
I played 3 though to see what it is like, the Main character is a damned beast at the start of the game, he barely takes any damage, and has 1,000 HP. I couldn't figure out how to get past the bridge blockade though, so I had to stop there. Some of the monster designs are pretty funny. One is a flying Cell phone that calls for backup. Another is a Moose Tank.
Awesome rips, man. The Metal Max Games definitely need more attention. I only played Metal Max Returns (at least this one has an unofficial translation) and i don't remember seeing so much silliness in a Snes RPG before. One of the Bosses was a Mammoth-Tank - literally, a mixture between a Mammoth and a Tank!
I am just wondering: How the hell do you play the other games? Can you read Japanese or do you use faqs/guides?
Walkthroughs and cheats mostly.
The DS games might be tile-rippable. You should contact Barubary and see if he knows anything.
