This started out a bit messy at first, but it's shaped up to be pretty nice.

I guess we might as well sticky this for a while.

here's two hacks of my own.

Chrono Trigger in game Loading

This changes all the save points to save and load points, you can load any of the 3 save games you have, good for if you don't wanna reset your game, or if you mess up on something, and want to try it again. This will be featured in my Chrono Trigger: rebirth hack.

Final Fantasy VI/III hard challenge

This hack aims to make the game harder than before, only allowing you to have at best 999 hp and 99 mp. you can't break this limit as i edited the equipment and espers not to give you hp and mp bonus. This hack need some work on it, like making magic cost lest for some spells and espers.

For shame... :lol: it would seem you skipped over a few quintessential, 'must-have' rom hacks; namely(Title; Company|Game Type|Hacker(s)/Translator(s)):

Graphics: 3/5-Simple, yet effective; low framerate hinders enjoyability a little.
Sound: 3/5-Okay, not anything that I'd download and listen to, but it's not annoying, either.
Plot: 4/5-Good plot; doesn't blend as well as it could with the gameplay.
Execution: 4/5-Gets points for originality, well executed, but takes a little time to fully understand. Be sure to play in mouse mode
Overall: 3.5-Worth a try.

Graphics: 5/5-Pretty, high-res, very animated, nuff said.
Sound: 5/5-Great Audio, sets the mood well.
Plot: 4/5-Very nice actually; a few too many cliches here and there, but all-in-all, a solid title spanning three scenarios and a fourth supplementary.
Execution: 5/5-Very well done; I couldn't put this one down until it was finished and even then, I felt there should've been a sequel.
Overall: 4.25-You should definitely play this game.

Graphics: 5/5-being one of the few games that used the SFX2 chip, the graphics are superb; complemented with 'full' 3D range of movement.
Sound: 3/5-okay to good music; about what you would expect from Starfox title.
Plot: 4/5-better than the last, but I wont spoil it for you.
Execution: 5/5- Very F-U-N.
Overall: 4.25-You should definitely play this game.


The only thing that has changed with this title is the execution; much harder-in all aspects, new weapon, and bugfixes.
Overall: 4-if you like SoM and challenges, you'll LOVE this patch.

Graphics: 5/5 Up there with Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia.
Sound: 5/5-Great tracks; play it just for the music if you have to.
Plot: 5/5-masterpiece, yet retains a sort of comic relief throughout 6 different scenarios.
Execution: 5/5-A work of art and lot's of replayability.
Overall: 5-Why haven't you played this game yet?!

Graphics: 5/5-What can I say it's got pretty graphics too, being one of Square's last games on the SNES.
Sound: 3/5-Meh it's okay; definitely not the gem of the game.
Plot: 4/5-Good for it's scope; lot's of cliches, but it would appear that the game is a satire of cliches in a way.
Execution: 5/5-lots of sidequests, battle system is awesome, and, for all it's flaws, the game tends to hold on to the player throughout the course of the game.
Overall: 4.25-You should definitely play this game.

That Super Metroid Redesign hack looks insidiously twisted.

I change my viewpoint. That Super Metroid Redesign hack IS insidiously twisted.
It took me 45 minutes just to get to the first energy tank.  :x
VERY hard. Sucks though, 'cuz I had to use Snes9X. For some reason ZSNES crashed on ROM load.

I am serious.     Thanks for the list.  That game that you said is Squarsoft's last one looks fun.   Hope it is like CT in terms of battle.  (chants) NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS, NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS, NO RANDOM ENCOUTERS!

Legend of Zelda:Parallel Worlds
For use with:The Legend of Zelda:A Link to the Past

Many players have noted an extremely high level of difficulty in Parallel Worlds, compared to that of A Link to the Past.

Download

I Recommend It.~kais~

Supported. LoZ: PW inspired me to write a story about Shadow's grandson saving Hyrule.

(Note, about these stories I'm inspired to write, I usually use the source of inspiration as a template for the plot.)

I might as well mention this particular hack. It's the coolest Megaman 2 hack I've ever played. It's called "Rockman no Constancy." The graphics, soundtrack (which is glorious IMO. I even burned it onto a CD), weapons, enemy patterns, and levels have all been redone.
