I've been messing around and hacking the universally hated BOKOSUKA WARS!! game lately. So far I've updated the graphics of the game, including adding a background. I've also hacked the music engine in this game. I've left some graphics the same in order to keep the resemblance similar to the original game.

Over the next few weeks I am going to continue trying to improve the overall look of the game. Also I've been tinkering with the game mechanics and how it determines just exactly how "WOW YOU LOSE!!". Many other things that players deem the game to be annoying.

Here are some screen shots to look at as a preview.

According to its Wikipedia page, the "WOW YOU LOSE!!" triggers when your king dies... I assume there are some rather untransparent/unforeseeable conditions under which that can happen?

I like this game, it gives me a challenge. I wanted to do a graphics hack of this game at one time, I think I spoke to Onyxyte about it. I like how you added the background, I'll be watching out for this hack.

Someone had mentioned to me about some of the letters on the title screen being hard to see and the "II" almost looking like an "H". So I worked on that last night and was working on finishing the "Bravo You WIN!" screen.

I am thinking about revising the losing tune here soon. I am planning on documenting the game to some extent and attempting to hack the gameplay to balance it out some maybe. I haven't really decided if I am going to change the game play or not since I did not have a problem beating the game. Some careful strategy and planning, you won't have too much of a problem winning. I must have beat the game at least 10 times in the last couple of weeks in hacking the game.

As far as the "sprites" are concerned, I would need to have way more space in order to change them from background tiles to real sprites. So far I have decided to work within the original space constraints to see what I can do without expanding the rom.
