This is a pretty basic hack of Battle City for NES. Changes include graphics, text and a select few stage layouts. Mostly, it was just a random idea executed as a result of insomnia.

With that said, if anyone likes the concept and wants to improve upon it, be my guest. You may feel free to use anything I’ve done as a basis for a derivative hack. You don’t necessarily need to credit me.

Excuse plot:

Otis and Ollie were two ordinary octoroks who roamed across the vast wildernesses of the Hyrule surface world. Continually thwarted by Link during his various journeys, Otis and Ollie grew weary of being conscripts in Ganon’s dubious plot to control Hyrule.

One day, they ventured into the labyrinthine underworld and stumbled upon an unguarded fragment of the Triforce. Aware of the power it possessed, the two quickly made off with the artifact and defected from Ganon’s forces altogether. Ganon, unwilling to concede to this betrayal, summoned an army of his most loyal octorok minions to seek out Otis and Ollie and reclaim the stolen Triforce fragment; but has Ganon underestimated the two? Can Otis and Ollie defeat their former allies and free themselves from Ganon’s clutches once and for all?
