Hack description

This is actually a combination of two hacks with a little extra in between.

Ridley X is known for making a lot of Megaman hacks, but not known for making hacks with new music. This uses Ridley X's hack as a base, but adds the music from DulfarC's Battle of Gamma. In addition to this...

* Some stages have been tweaked and edited with different enemies.
* A "brand new" stage.
* The Robot Master rematches are skipped.

Credit to Ridley X for the stages.
Credit to DulfarC for the music.

MМ3 3 Ridley X VS Gamma - There are a few bugs, however... playablediablo6662021-11-03Version 1.0

You know, I somehow did not focus on hacks that only change the levels, BUT the BASIS remains original.

This is exactly the case here. However, hooked. Graphics from different games about Megaman are harmoniously combined. And it was especially surprising that the scenes of Doc bots - tried to create levels from the GameBoy version. There are a few changes in the enemies, slightly, let's say. Mainly, the enemies have become stronger, and against some of them, a simple Blaster will not help. Therefore, if you have abilities, feel free to choose combinations.

I like the music in the game. I certainly guess who had a hand in making, but I will say this: "It gives atmosphere" and this is good

As they say, it's not without bugs. They don't break the game, but they can give you trouble. First: the Eye of the Robo Snake - for some reason it's not in the right place. It's frightening. Second: "Proto man" can break the music. Instead of the one that should be, it will sound DIFFERENT. Third bug: getting Stuck in unknown blocks. Why did you say that? Because - NOTHING SHOULD PREVENT YOU from passing, BUT YOU can't, because something is blocking, like invisible walls...

Beautiful graphics, nice music, different presentation of the original. Beauty! This hack gives the following notes: "Relaxation" and "Small Challenge". For connoisseurs of good hacks, I recommend it. And, if you start playing this hack, it will become a starting point for you in the experience of passing games.

This is a pretty decent hack; it gets a little intense at spots, but overall, it's not punishingly difficult. The level design is a little weird in that a lot of it is close to the original game's layout, even though every stage has a new tileset. The new tilesets are decent, too, many of which borrow from other Mega Man games. Shadow Man's is one of my favorites, with its black sewage taken from Pump Man's stage. Magnet Man's stage has a neat area that's almost completely in the dark, calling back to Plug Man's stage. Snake Man's stage is an interesting mix of the stages of Wood Man and Stone Man, with a lovely color combination of wheat-colored leaves with magenta ground. Even Break Man's tiny stage has Concrete Man's tileset, but with blue concrete and orange leaves. Most of the game is pretty on-the-level; it wasn't bad by any means (aside from maybe 2 songs), but it didn't really blow me away. It's a good hack if you're looking for something new to play, and have already tried the masterpieces.

From all the three hacks with those musics(battle of gamma,this one and luokeren max 2),this one is the best one.Battle of gamma was quite hard to me.And this one is more easy in comparison.It´s a nice mix that works very well.

However there´s some oddness,like the doc robot stages using the same boring music instead of the original stage music,Shadow´s music changes entirely when proto appears and even after beating him,the music doesn´t come back.They must take a lot at this.
