It’s a popular NES title, but The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle has always felt a little lacking compared to its sequels on the Game Boy. There have been hacks which change the levels in this game, but graphically it only has four enemies, most of whom are Sylvester the Cat.
Animator and hacker Garrett Gilchrist, with Bavi_H and SpiderDave, has expanded the cast to twenty-eight Looney Tunes characters, including characters from other Crazy Castle games and characters newly animated for this release (like Marvin the Martian, the Instant Martian, Gossamer, Barnyard Dawg and more). There are also five new cutscenes, and the hack is fully compatible with previous level hack packs.
Graphically, this is Crazy Castle like you’ve never seen it before. It bridges the gap with the Game Boy sequels. Help Bugs rescue Lola Bunny!
Here’s the full character lineup: Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Merlin the Magic Mouse Tasmanian Devil, Witch Hazel, Leprechaun, Beaky Buzzard Foghorn Leghorn, Barnyard Dawg, Porky Pig, Count Bloodcount Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, Gogo Dodo, Mugsy Marc Anthony, Instant Martian, K-9, Marvin the Martian Pepe Le Pew, Gossamer, Ghost Kid, Elmer Fudd Tweety Bird, Henery Hawk, Sylvester Jr., Speedy Gonzales

Breath of Fire IV’s North American and European releases suffered from censorship and cut content. Four scenes were censored, Scias’ speech was altered, and the Identify ability was removed.
This hack restores the four censored scenes. Additionally, it also allows the user to add back Scias’ Identify ability.

This little gem of a hack makes the game almost 10x faster to complete. The hack is reducing the experience to level by 10 and the gold to purchase items by 10. DW1 Mass Data Editor was used for this change. Price of inn is not reduced by 10, so it makes it more costly to go in an inn. But the golds from chests will be worth more. Completing a game of Dragon Warrior in less than 2 hours is very satisfying.

Work your way through 74 levels and fight off Dr. Tongue’s Abominations and put an end to him in this finale to the Small ZAMN series.

There’s no shortage of early NES/Famicom games which star penguins. The “Binary Land” penguins were mascots of sorts for Hudson Soft and Nintendo, appearing in Pinball and Family Basic, which caused them to star in countless amateur games and hacks. Konami had a penguin mascot too, in 1983’s Antarctic Adventure (and its MSX sequel), 1991’s Yume Penguin Monogatari, and the Parodius series.
But if you’re after the latest in antarctic entertainment on your NES, Pangent Technologies has the games for you. Brand-new NES hacks of “(Duncan’s) Thin Ice,” “2002 Bomberman,” “Duck Maze,” “Flappy,” “Hunter On Ice,” and “Penguin-Kun Wars,” all starring penguins. Consider it a way to stay cool this season.

This update is packed with improvements.
There’s been a painstaking difficulty pass, amounting to over two pages of notes just for foes and bosses. The challenges are still in place but will be more fair to approach (and to boot, all defensive timings are slightly easier!) Especially taxing areas have been sanded further, each on a case-by-case basis.
Other than that, there’s newness to check out! Players will have much more reasonable access to items like bracers, energizers and their beefier counterparts to give them an edge, and elixirs are either cheaper or more effective as well…Tadpole Pond is your friend! Parties will also be learning several spells a bit earlier, again to give players access to more tools sooner, while status-protecting “Pin” items are more defensive than before. This will be especially helpful in early game.
But there’s a lot more to the details than this overview. Regarding new items? Note Blocks, the Lakitu Cloud, Kuribo Shoe, Mossilixir and War Banner join the fray! That last one there, most of all…seriously, try out the War Banner!!
Oh, and Sheep Attack comes fully upgraded at initial purchase. That’s what you were waiting for, right?!

Here’s a Castlevania hack that was on ice since the 2000’s, Dragonsbrethren’s old sequel to his other Castlevania hack Castlevania Retold. Brought back to life as Googie’s first CV hack. You’ll go on an adventure with Richter Belmont to fight the very bad vampire.
Big shout out to everyone who contributed to bring this hack to life, this wouldn’t have been possible with your help.
