+ Final Notes

Notes: Thanks to Idsoftware for their great game, and allowing others like myself to

be creative and expand on their game in many ways, oh and thanks to Nintendo

for creating one of the best games i've ever played when I was a kid. Metroid

Kicks ass. Can't wait for Metroid64!

Also like to thank the people that helped me out, when I first tried to figure out

how to create md2. Especially Elmek(If you still remember me) and Malekyth

Finally, special thanks to BUZ + da Lurgee for their time and effor on Samus255.pcx
