I can see how that mistake came about then. There still isn't a mega collection of rom hacks anywhere. Everyone is forced to host their own hacks on their own sites so once that site goes down the hacks are pretty much lost forever. Face it. One day Dark Daiz hacks may one day become lost because of that. Sux. I guess Zophar is the closest thing to a megacollection of Rom Hacks.
Actually, there are alot of hacks in rom goodsets.Those will never die. so you lose =] |

What an ass, clinging to his old browser like a security blanket, contributing to the market inertia holding the web back from advancing as much as it could, and all this despite knowing better.
Seriously, though, just install Firefox and make it not the default browser, and/or educate the other people who use the computer.
Until then, you get to use smart workarounds (Google Cache) to your own dumb limitations (using MSIE). |

Ok!
As some of you might have noticed. I'm slowly collecting great hacks on my site. So, at least those might be save for a while.  |

Girl's Night Out was a Final Fantasy hack by Vystrix Nexoth. His website contains plenty of detail on the project. |

Zelda Challenge and Mario Adventure should've been on that list. What is girls night out anyway? Never heard of that hack. |

No one's responded on that board, maybe they just prefer to stay ignorant. |

They probably got their information from an outdated Geocities site... *yawn* |

Come on, even that EGM article a few years ago that mentioned Challenge Games is more up-to-date than this article! WTF?!!! |

Well, you have to understand that the writers don't live in rom hacking central like we do. To them, the mere thought of graphic hacking NES games is like awe and wonder. If they got a peak at how DahrkDaiz has utterly molested SMB3, well I think DD would be getting more attention that he actually wants.
Sometimes it's a good thing that we don't get all the attention. Too much attention isn't good, especially in the outside world. |

I feel somewhat offended that Girls Night Out was heralded as one of the "greatest ROM hacks" by these imbeciles. SMB3C, for example, was around a long time before GNO was, yet somehow it is not worthy of mention.
If this article was written anytime in the last three or four years, then the authors are seriously lacking a clue and are borderline trolling. |

Heh, the people on that board are probably just going to be like WTF. No replies yet. |

Haha, it's not that hard... but it is pretty cool I'm in a magazine. I went on thier board and posted my own article on Rom Hacking, so I'm waiting to see if anyone posts any replies about it. |

Sorry, my vacation starts tomorrow, and I won't have internet access until Sunday night, so I won't be able to get anything scanned until next week. But hey, I can't be the only person on the board who read Retro Gamer, can I? I know it's a british magazine, but still.
Anyway, here's what it said about your hack (Curse from the Outskirts, right?)
"This game is from pretty much the same genre as Super Mario Remix II, only backwards. Instead of turning a classic RPG into a Mario game, it turns the original Super Mario Brothers into a demented side-scrolling Zelda game! All sorts of Zelda enemies, new gameplay, and maps nothing like the original SMB make this one a real treat. It's super-challenging too, making this a real test for expert gamers."
EDIT: Oh, btw, Live Publishing has a forum where you can comment on each individual issue. For those who want to express their opinion on this article, this is where you do it.

Why couldn't they have picked one of my good hacks to be in the list of "Best hacks ever?" You should definately go to a local library and scan that so I can check out my stuff in a published article, despite the fact that this article lives way in the past... I mean seriously NESticle hacking? |

Not to mention that the tiles shown in SMB1 are repeated, flipped, and some other stuff. O.o
Also, they don't mention the many other programs developed to help in hacking. |

NESticle; the most modern NES emulator ever! :o
What terrible information is this? Hard to imagine the editors actually believe what they wrote. Yes, I would have to say it's a very bad article. |
