Title: Simon's Quest Revamped - True Simon Edition!
Post by: metroidquest on September 30, 2011, 09:09:34 AM
For anyone who is interested, Jorge has asked me to release this version of CV2: SQ Revamped starring his Simon Sprite.
Warning: There are only a few other changes from the original, so if you didn't like Revamped version 1.1, don't expect much of a difference.

Here is the link:

Metroidquest, I can host this on my Mediafire account if you're OK with it.
EDIT
I'll just put this here for now:
MetroidQuest Studios - Simon's Quest ReVamped (True Simon Edition) Download (http://www.mediafire.com/?5j7asjt3hsct39g)

Also, ARGH I died by falling off the Jova Woods Bridge!  And I had Dracula's Heart and was heading back to Jova!!!  Nooooh!!!

Now this is pretty fun! I've already bought the thorn whip and it actually looks like a whip of thorns, pretty nice touch.

Played through a bit of the game. Got the chain whip, Drac's rib, white crystal, holy water. And that's about where I left it. However it's really going to suck if I have to die one more time... It's fun and I've gotten the hang of it. But the limited lives is perhaps the biggest issue. It's like playing Haunted Castle. While I enjoy it, I get really frustrated with having to start over again  :'(

Yeah I know you've heard this complaint before so I won't drag it out any further.  :) good game though metroidquest. It's like playing a 16-bit version of the NES title.

Sorry to hear your frustration. I tend to like making challenges, but I know for a fact you can get the best ending in this game with some strategy :) Thanks for playing!

Metroidquest:

I noticed that inside houses, the timer stops, but not inside mansions.
In the original, it froze in mansions.  Were you aware of this, or did you decide to change it to raise the challenge?

It should be freezing in the mansions. It always did before. Wonder if you glitched it?

Hey Metroid Quest, I have a question for you in regards to the sprites and sounds of the game. How difficult would it be for you to replace certain ones? I'm mostly asking so we can possibly give you guys a taste of Sophia in a way while I work on my game?

Shouldn't be too difficult. What do you need?

Awesome,man.It's really fun,and difficult(or my gameplay skills are really bad,i'm hoping the first.) ;)

I don't recall you ever saying you weren't going to either.  ;D

CONFIRMED! Olrox is correct. If you JUMP in the last room before the sacrifice of the body parts, Simon WILL sink into the floor and crash the game. I will get this fixed and post an update. Thank you!
Get the fixed version here:

Could the author of this please provide screenshots? I don't want to download just to see what it is.

Why look at screenshots when you could watch a video instead?

That's an old video with old Red Richter.
New version has kickass RedArmor Simon.  But yes, that does show the gameplay. :)

I think I ran into a game-ending glitch.  If I remember correctly, the original SQ allowed me to access Rover Mansion with the red crystal.  In this version, however, the red crystal does not work on the lake before Rover Mansion.
