Realistic Zombie Apocalypse ANSII Shooter

The working title is "Mutant Apocalypse" but that could change. I'm developing this with Megazeux, after I discovered it was possible. Megazeux is an incredibly powerful ANSII game creation engine, but I have complete control over the characters.

Anyway, right now the hero can run around part of a city. The city and buildings' floor plans are realistic, and there are literally thousands of zombie/mutants to destroy.

You have regular machine-gun ammo, and 2 kinds of bombs. You start with some lives and can collect more. Ammo is everywhere, but the giant caches are well-guarded. You might be able to grab 2000 rounds easily enough, but you'll need to use that strategically to gain the 10,000 you'll need. You can collect gems and coins for extra points.



Features finished:

50% of the City, including:
-dozens of buildings (apartment complexes, a giant shopping mall, alleys, etc)
-hives of zombies waiting to attack
-mobs of mutants set on search and destroy
-tons of powerups
-intense difficulty
-decent level of realism
-keys which lock certain areas (including the shopping mall, a zombie movie staple)

Proto Man 2

This is a Mega Man 2 romhack. I was not happy with the other Proto Man 2 romhack, although I did use it as a base. From there, everything was changed, from the graphics, to the title screen, to the palette, to the story, etc. The quality is very high, and I think fans will appriciate the little touches like the intro and an accurate palette and perfect sprites for Proto Man. Because Mega Man and Proto Man (in MM9, MM3, MM10, etc. are different shapes, romhackers of MM2 have to be a little creative with the sprites. These are the MM3 sprites which I developed for Proto Man 3, but fixed up a little bit. I used Tile Layer Pro, Nesticle, Hexposure, and Thingy to hack up this bad boy.

Mega Man 2 is much easier to hack than Mega Man 3. One only has to alter Mega Man's sprite once. However, editing the text was a major challenge, but I learned a lot about NES Text editing and I am 100% certain that I can now change any text in any NES rom. Anyway, if you don't like Mega Man 2 with a mullet, I hope you're a fan of Proto Man 2.

Features:

-Play as Proto Man in Mega Man 2
-New Title Screen
-New READY Message
-Changed palettes
-No awkward sprites/pixels!
-NEW INTRO STORY!!!
