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 Maternal-Bound Redux, an improvement for the USA version of Earthbound

    I haven’t really played any romhacks besides one. A while ago I played through the Gold Quest for Ocarina of Time. It’s like an upgraded version of Master Quest: remixed dungeons, enemies added in different locations, items have been moved to different locations, and some changes to the world outside of dungeons. Great for anyone that wants a more challenging version of OOT.

    I’ve also been watching a friend play through a Pikmin romhack called Bikmin 269. This game is straddling the line between a shitpost and a fever dream. You collect NFTs and Bitcoins, the ground texture is layered images of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, the space ship is a T-posing Luigi, and one type of Pikmin is a “mushroom” that looks suspiciously penis-like… It’s a nightmare in the best possible way

    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.

    Pokemon Unbound is a fun one.

    Theres one that saves the original Tetris high scores that we use in an arcade cabinet.

      I had a great time with Unbound. I also enjoyed playing Eternal X which made Gen 6 actually tolerable to play, although it’s largely the same game as Vanilla X with all Pokemon through Gen 6 catchable and improved difficulty.
