Well made hard hacks

You do in bards tale as well

And they go to shops to buy and sell items why not just think they sell the juicey bits behind your back? Its not like you spend the gold before you get to a shop.

I dunno, just feels like I've already gotten it. Besides, what if I don't go to a shop? Or what if the shop I go to isn't the kind of shop that buys things back? Just sayin'. I understand the whole imagination thing, but when you see the character on screen at all times, and specially when it explicitly says that you got your gold right as soon as the battle ends... It doesn't lend itself as well to the understanding that you're selling monster parts.

It's an abstraction, okay? Do you really want to have to deal with "$monster's $sellable_parts", with varying quality? It'd make inventory management a nightmare and bloat the amount of storage for inventories unnecessarily.

And if you're going to complain about that, why not complain about Final Fantasy's pre-XI combat systems?

I think the idea that assuming GP gained is actually the value of dead parts is legit

This isn't a course in gaming metaphysics; creatures drop cash and have been since the dawn of time. Nowadays you get vendor trash in some games... Let's focus our brainpower on more important stuff: world hunge, cancer research, or kittens.

Kittens drop two gold pieces when killed.

world hunge, is this some kinda chinese thing?

It's my jock size... I'm going to stop now. I really need to stop reading the Penny Arcade, it brings out the worst in me.  Also Gid, you stay the Hel away from my kitty 

Super Metroid Super Zero Mission is a very well made, hard hack. 

Very well made. It feels like a legitimate sequel.  The boss battles are all vastly improved, and there are some very cool surprises toward the end

Unlike some Metroid games, there is always at least some kind of hint that a block is breakable, or that there is any other kind of hidden room/item.

You can play through the game without having to use advanced techniques, but you will need to use the most complicated moves to get certain hidden items (shinespark chains, speedball, mockball, etc)

I've also played through Redesign, Eris, Ice Metal, and Stardust.  Super Zero Mission definitely takes the cake
