(c)1995 Crea-Tech ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal Max Returns - Monster List. Written By: Harlan Reid E-Mail Address: Jackaz2all_2000@yahoo.com Version: 0.75 Last Updated: December 9, 2007 System: SNES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Version 0.75 ------------ -Submitted the introductory guide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------Table Of Contents------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Introduction 2) Legal Crud 3) Critters! 4) Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------Introduction-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Metal max is a unique little game. It looks like Final Fantasy 5, but is almost completely lacking in story. What little there is describes a post- apocalyptic world with mechanical monsters running loose. With technology destroyed, a few hardy souls attempt to recover it from those mecha-beasts. They are called "hunters" and you are one of those souls. I've begun this guide at a time when there is little information on this game... at least in English. I wanted to know what monsters dropped what so that I could search after specific items. With that nearly done, I may also do an in-depth analysis of weapons-both for humans and tanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------Legal Crud--------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

For HP, most are exact numbers, though a few are educated guesses and may be off by 2-3 hp. Also, drops are interesting in this game. There appears to be two item tables, one if the battle is over in less than four rounds, and a second one for more. If you are battling a group of different monsters, I believe the only one whose drop table is used is the last monster defeated.
