Favorite ROM Hacks

Obvious one for me being Rogue Dawn. Can read more of my early impressions of it over in the NES/famicom thread.

Oh yeah, here’s some more. For the Frog the Bell Tolls DX, still a WIP but watching for a release. Looks super good.

And I dig this MC Kids hack the removes all the corporate shilling and aims to give it its own identity.

The Simon’s Quest re-translation is most definitely on my list to check out. I assume homebrew is just as welcome as that is the bulk of where my digging has been so I can share some of that.

Blade Buster is a caravan shooter that I have not gotten to play yet but comes highly recommended.

Indivisible looks like a pretty solid little action platformer.

Mad Wizard looks cool. Sly Dog has put out quite a bit of stuff I mean to check out. https://slydogstudios.org/ hope I can find a way to throw a bit of money there way if I dig it. Wasn’t able to find a donate link or anything so if you are out there Sly Dog let me give you money! You can buy a cart from RetroUSB for $40, but the ROM is more than enough for me, I don’t need the cart.

Retrotainment’s output has looked pretty good, as well. Fortunately you can pick them up off Steam for a reasonable price. Have not figured out if you can extract the ROM, but that would be my ideal. I plan to pick them up so will report back if that is the case.
