What are peoples favorite ROM Hacks? I personally like vanilla+ experiences but just want to hear what other people appreciate and why.
I’m thinking of Smash Remix for Super Smash Bros. It adds tons of content but keeps the game feeling original.
Also thinking of Maternalbound Redux, an improvement for the USA version of Earthbound
Pacman Championship Edition demake for NES
Ocarina of time hack: Missing Link. The Story takes place between ocarina of time and Majoras Mask. I loved it.
The Secret of Evermore hack enabling a second player to control the dog is quite formidable, if a tad glitchy at times. It elevates a somewhat forgettable single player jRPG to a fun co-op pastime.
There was a genesis version of shadow run where they fixed the bug with melee and to much cyberware and allowed you to choose your race at character creation. They have not been kept up though it did not really work for me in a recent iteration.
Tetris: Rosey Retrospective is legitimately my favorite version of tetris
Gran Turismo 2 Plus
I also like stuff which keeps it mostly true to the original and GT2+ is unofficial patches + cut content added back + some new.
