Hmm...hey guys, maybe with some layer movement and such, I could re-create Tetran from Life Force. The recreation would include:
Metroid tiles for armor
Re-sized Mother Brain NPC with Gradius Enemy Core sprite graphics
Normal brick tiles for core barriers
Moving arms*
Rinka bullets spawning at the end of each arm

The boss fight would be fought classic shmup style in the Clown Car with Billy Cannons for weaponry.

It would take quite a bit of work to do this, but I think that somehow it can be done!

*Would you guys recommend I use Fireballs, Lava, or Fire Bars for Tetran's arms? Please reply with your vote.

Wow, this is neat! I'm a Gradius/R-type/Darius/Thunder Force etc. fan, I would like very much to see that.

I think that some Lua could be usefull for this.

And for the arms, I think that firebar is the best.
