I finished this hack around last year. It's an Earthbound hack which is called The Mysterious Mine. It takes place in 2006 in a town called Orange, VA. Basically, this hack includes myself and other characters.

Characters

Trae- An 18 year old male who is almost graduating from high school. He's a quiet person but strong. He hears a loud sound in which he finds out it's just that his mother turned up the TV too loud. He is sent out to get ice cream in the middle of the night. He can't go to town so he finds another path but finds strange humans. What else happens to this young man? Play the hack to find out.

Rakim-Known as one of the greatest emcees of all time. Knows magic, and aids Trae to get back home from the Mysterious Mine.

Jack-The well known farmer from the Harvest Moon series. He aids Trae & Rakim to restore peace to Mineral Town. He doesn't know magic but his tools will aid in battle.

Lida-The tomboyish princess of Octavian (a sunkern cavern town). She knows magic like Trae & Rakim. She aids Trae & the gang when they find the King's Urn and proceeding to the caves of Octavian.

You can download the hack from...

I think it would be helpful if you could provide a reference to that EB Expand tool. Few people here hack Earthbound, and quick googling didn't reveal much of use other than another person asking for it on the starmen.net forums and getting a nonsequitur answer.

Sorry about that, blackhole. Here's the link to EBexpand...

This is from the retro PK Hack site.

Well this is entertaining. I played for a bit and so far it's interesting enough. Pop culture references are always fun, the teleport effect is a nice touch, and the little cinematic things (music, etc) work well. Couple of problems though.

First, the guy on the game over screen is still Ness. Having not touched PK Hack for a while, I'm not entirely sure if you can change this, but if you can please do.
Second, the font is somewhat difficult to read. bdfhklt should be the only "tall" letters, gjpqy should be the only ones dipping down, everything else should be nice and small.
Third, enemy graphics aren't great. Not everyone's an artist, though, so I can forgive this.
Fourth, little grammar/spelling errors here and there.
Fifth (and this is a big one), make sure the player can't sequence break. I somehow got through the Claw battle without Rakim, then got stuck in a locked room with Gadget and Penny. Have something in place to prevent the player from getting here before having what's necessary to escape.

Other than that, it's perfectly ok.

Bah, I didn't see until a bit ago that this is the final release. Oh well, just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for you comment. About the death screen, I was afraid to change it because of the chance that the hack might break. Also, I didn't know about the part going to Claw Castle without Rakim. Maybe that I need to put an NPC at the entrance of the cave to Claw's Castle from Smurf Village and have that NPC disappear when Rakim is on your team.
