First released back in 2020, Clock Tower Deluxe is a patch for the Point ’n Click horror game Clock Tower on the Super Famicom that adds mouse support and content that was introduced in the game’s PlayStation port along with various quality of life features and adjustments.
This new release’s biggest improvement is the way Scissorman, the game’s antagonist, will be chasing you. Inspiration has been taken from the game’s sequel meaning Scissorman can now follow you from door to door instead of “teleporting” around. Chases will also trigger randomly while you’re wandering around, making Scissorman more of a threat than in the original version.
Unused or cut assets have yet again been restored to give the player more hiding places and even a few single-use weapons to use for defense. Beware though, as Scissorman too has a few new hiding spots that will start a chase once reached!
The included spreadsheet lists all of these recent changes, but another one worth mentioning is a feature that preserves your save file if you happen to press QUICK START on the main menu, which would normally reset your saved progress. This also kicks in when you’re locked onto a certain game over (”DEAD END”) where you would normally die each time if you lacked a certain item.
There is still more that can be done but until then, enjoy this new breath of life into this classic title!

The original Super Mario Bros. is a classic for the ages, but sometimes those years do start to show.
This hack adds some quality-of-life features that came with later entries, like the difference in how power-ups work, the way Mario bounces on enemies, and many more! Alongside that, further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
The individual changes are too many to list here. While they are small individually, they add up to an overall more fun experience playing the game. More technical users can use the source code on GitHub (linked below as Relevant Link) to effortlessly enable or disable individual changes to their liking, using the building instructions mentioned there.
Have fun reliving this old game in a new way!

Mega Man V was released on 1994 for the original Game Boy. While the previous four entries in Nintendo’s handheld recycled some content from the NES games, the fifth and final entry finally got its unique story, original enemies and a bunch of exclusive features.
It’s considered one of the rarest game in the series because it’s not a numeric entry like the NES, a lot of people don’t even know about it. Yet, it’s a top notch game in the series.
And now… you can truly enjoy it in full color! Just imagine, in the era of Game Boy Color, when Zelda, Tetris and many other games were re-released as the famous DX versions… How Mega Man could have looked if Capcom had made a DX version of this underrated gem?
Now you can with this ambitious colorization project that took more than two years! And, not only that, but the hack also optimizes the game’s code, thus removing all slowdown from the original game! Pause menu has been reprogrammed as well, and added icons to every weapon (just like the later NES Mega Man games), making it looking gorgeous!
Enjoy one of the best Game Boy platformers in its definitive version!

The Most Immersive Streets of Rage 2 Hack is Here!
From the hands of River City Girls… of Rage mastermind savok and partner PPI-Akiko (and with assists from TMNT superfan & NBA Jam 2KTE series frontman Double Z, plus input from gsaurus and uuuser) comes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Shredder’s Re-Revenge. A hack using the “Zan Roo” Syndicate Wars Engine, this TMNT x SOR mashup replaces every single player and enemy sprite with those from the current hit Shredder’s Revenge. It even goes so far as to modify the opening sequence and closing scenes, certain icons, and more! You might just forget this isn’t an original TMNT game!
In yet another world in the Streets of Rage 2 multiverse, Mr. X has (as usual) fallen. In the wake of his defeat, the City struggles through a power vacuum. Meanwhile, needing a change of scenery from his own streak of failed attempts to conquer worlds and dimensions, that villainous Oroku Saki decides to set up shop here, recruiting not only his own Foot Clan but various villains and anti-heroes from days’ past.
Believing himself, his crew, and his new base of operations yet again invincible, Saki issues an open challenge to the turtles to try to stop him.
It’ll take a village to save the City, and so our heroes recruit some allies of their own. Think you can take on the likes of Rocksteady, Bebop, Leatherhead, the Rat King, and more? Then join Leo, Raph, Donny, Mikey, Splinter, April, and Casey for one more radical rescue!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to use the powerful Metal Blade in other Mega Man games, or ran out of Magnet Beam in that notorious Ice Man section and desperately wished for an Item 2? Well, wonder no more.
Wily Wars has a short unique segment called Wily Tower that lets you mix and match weapons from the 3 games. However, nothing of the sort is available for the main 3 games. This hack aims to rectify that.
Weapon Master is a simple modification of Wily Wars that lets you choose between ALL weapons anytime in all modes during regular gameplay by replacing the otherwise redundant “Window” button functionality. No selection menu required.
Anything goes - use Rush Jet to skip those Guts Man platforms with impunity. Fight Shadow Man with something that’s not Top Spin. Or if you’re a masochist, attempt to beat Mega Man 3 using only the Bubble Lead (not particularly recommended). The Rockman Megaworld is your oyster.
