PLATFORM ADVENTURE
Vigilance on Talos V (PC, 1996)
Metroid-like w/ hints from NPCs and linear structure, Divided into three fairly large maze levels
Items don't carry over between levels/worlds - Have to re-find them in each
Fairly frequent save points (5 slots) - These also heal up to 99 HP
Borrows the same abilities as in Sinaria (morph ball - can jump from the get go here, grapple beam, x-ray beam, missiles) as well as bomb jumping and jump boots from Metroid
Some sequence breaking possibilities (can get the grapple beam and plasma early in the first level/world, can reach the northern part of the second level with bomb jumping, etc.)
No maps
Some shortcuts and one teleporter for fast travel in one level

Influenced by: Super Metroid, possibly Phantom 2040
