It was then updated by ProtomanX in 2014 to be compatible with modern systems (I really had to dig to find this):

  1. Maaaan, bringing back the memories here. Eventually, from what I remember, you unlock characters by completing certain stages with certain characters. I remember having to replay every stage with every character to find what I missed. It was a nightmare.

    Also, Zero's campaign gives a completely different set of characters.

    I wonder if this is the older or newer version. The older one had Zero able to change weapons and colors I think.

  2. THE "BEST-WORST" MEGAMAN X FAN GAME OF ALL TIME! THE DEFINITION OF THE "BEST OF THE WORST!"

    INTERESTING Gameplay And Mechanics, HOWEVER, DEPLORABLE Graphics And The Plot Is Some Deviant Art Fan Fiction Bull@#$%.

  3. I remember this was relatively advanced for a fangame of the time, and to be fair maybe even the best. It for sure lacked polish and using MIDIs while extremely common in the amateur game dev scene was rarely good sounding, even back then. People just grabbed stuff from vgmusic where people would upload midi covers for all sorts of game so it was an easy source of music for fangames. The fact the game had the movement mechanics in a decent state including wall jumping, dash jumping and the like put it a step above the rest. The level design isn't anything impressive but at least it had a quite complete set with bosses even. And on top, a roster of characters each with their own gimmicks.

    That said, it for sure was an unpolished buggy mess though.
