"If you're looking for an extra challenge when playing Contra"
No, sir. Good day, sir.

There was a fan remake of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest released recently. It plays similarly to Rondo and is a full on passion project that makes Simon's Quest actually coherent.

i loved hearing "Lets Go Away" from Daytona USA in 8 bit on that megaman 4 hack; definitely not something I would have thought of till watching this video.

[JodGss]

Loved the 8bit theme used in that megaman 4 romhack xD

love your video but I'd like to make one correction: zelda ancient dungeon is more of a roguelike than a randomizer. randomizers take all the item locations, entrances, and other silly things like text, etc. to make a playthrough different every time -- the actual overworld & dungeons though, in terms of the layout, remain largely the same. there's actually a zelda 1 randomizer that has existed for quite a while now, with tons of crazy options for what to randomize. what ancient dungeon does, is it procedurally generates an infinite dungeon where once you die, you have to start all over again. essentially, a roguelike like hades or binding of isaac.

that being said, it's a really really good romhack and I'm happy you're giving it more attention :) really fun and addictive, I'd even recommend it to people who don't like zelda 1 that much, mostly because it removes a lot of the more esoteric parts of the original.

I've been squinting at the thumbnail for a while now and I finally realized it's one of those magic eye posters. Once my eyes relaxed the background revealed itself to be...Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball. Sweet Easter Egg!

The Daytona USA "Let's Go Away" cover playing for the Mega Man IV rom hack segment really sets the mood for speed running.

[Xenaximus]

Always my favorite series. The romhack community is just amazing for helping put a new spin on old games.

[Scribblerjohnny]

Battle of Olympus is an underappreciated gem

[raphaelfp]

So much awesome stuff that we don't have any idea it exists. Duck Tales + DW and Shadows of Gotham impressed me the most!

[hemangchauhan]

Daytona USA music for Rockman 4 Romhack is so nice!

[ricardomela]

That Rockman hack with the 8-bit remix of the Daytona USA Advanced track song, I guess that adds to the "sped up" feeling :P

[cestusfr]

Ninja Gaiden as deadpool is such a great idea!

[EternalKnicksOptimist]

Daytona USA theme song in Mega Man is amazing!

[mattb]

Good selection of NES romhacks! 6:59 Was that an 8-bit rendition of the Daytona USA music using the Mega Man soundfont!? 😅

Total length of video: 585 secs
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 2.5 secs.

.43% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".

I love this channel. This and Game Sack are the best retro gaming channels

[GazaAli]

Absolutely nice touch with that Kage stage 04 theme. God I played that game ad-nauseum, both as a child and an adult.

I don’t think a lot of OG gamers realize just how helpful the smaller patches can be to bringing these titles to a modern audience. The actual game design of these games still holds up but save states aren’t nearly enough to make up for difficulty spikes and cryptic moments. I’ve also noticed that save states in general aren’t a fun way to alleviate the annoyance of lives. I wish Nintendo would start opting for these kind of tweaks to their roms instead of basically making the player invincible and letting them take a tour.

I love how you do these deep cuts on NES ROM hacks, like the Layla hack. Also, great you give recognition to Zelda II - Resurrection of Ganon, that's a very well designed game!
