MetConst Contest Hack List
Metroid Construction has hosted a lot of "contests" over the years, and yet for some reason there are no neat, clean master lists of the entries to each contest. This page aims to fix that.
Links to hacks will be on the main site of Metroid Construction whenever possible. Hacks marked [NOMS] are "Not On the Main Site".
Hacks that received a major update between their contest release and their current version on the main site will be marked with an asterisk, like so:
- Sample Hack* by Bobson Dugnutt
If you wish to play the original versions (LARPing as a contest judge), check the contest threads.
If there are any corrections or updates to be made to this list, contact me on Discord.
For overall stats, check the end.
