Arkanoid Revised is a hack of the Japanese version of Arkanoid released for the Famicom. Arkanoid was originally released for the arcades and it featured an analog wheel controller for rapid movement. Both the Famicom and NES releases supported a similar controller, called the “Arkanoid Controller”. Few people had this and had to use the regular d-pad for movement, which is very limited, making the game nearly impossible to complete without cheats.

The hack addresses this situation by making the unused B button as a sprint modifier. Along the way bugs and inconsistencies with the gameplay were detected so those were changed to make the game more enjoyable. For example, the cheats which always felt like a necessity were incorporated into the game design more properly. The continue cheat has been converted into a continue option on the main menu, while the level skip cheat has been converted into a stock of warp pills, usable at any time by pressing the SELECT button. This spends a warp pill in stock and the exit gate opens.

There are two bugs fixed too: now pausing also works at the start of each level, not just when the ball has started moving, and the player can use the continue option even after watching the demo. Previously if you watched the demo the continue cheat would be lost, sending you back to level 1!

And last but not least, a lot of the graphics have been improved! New backgrounds, stylistic color choices for the bricks and new graphics for the normal, big and fire vaus. Game logic had to be adjusted to allow for a different tile on the vaus ship, as the center tile was previously repeated 4 times on the big vaus.

Here is a small news page about the next Chrono Trigger hack, Chrono Trigger 1.01.

It is a small project when compared to other hacks on this site, but it is meant to add some more fun to your next playthrough. It’s name implies that the changes from the original game should be considered an “update” of sorts, rather than a “mod” that makes large changes to graphics, the story, or big things like that. Everyone has a personal or private version of the game, and this is simply the author’s version.

Here are some of the main features:

• Some dialog changes and most tech descriptions use a compromise of community sources, paraphrasing, and the original text (NA).
• The “6-Letter Name” and “CronoNick” patches have been applied. [see Readme file]
• Enemies are only slightly harder because there are other, better hacks for that.
• It’s no longer Uncle Sam mode. $ rewards have been reduced significantly.
• No-levels and low-levels games have been taken into consideration, so it should still be legitimate, EXP-wise.
• A wallet is hidden in Porre, if you want to play a NLG. Take a few rides on the ferry to reveal it.
• Some SPC songs from the pre-release game have been added, without having to replace existing ones.
• There are now two versions of Magus (the castle fight). One for NLGs/LLGs and one for NG+ and MUCH higher levels. The AI scripts for both have been changed, so this is the main feature that is different from stock.

So without further delay, here is the main page for you: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3620/

The Quest of Lala is a complete level hack of The Adventures of Lolo. This time, the damsel in distress, Princess Lala is the protagonist and Lolo was the one kidnapped by the Devil King AKA the evil King Egger.

The levels are based on the PC game “Eggerland: Episode 0 - Quest of Rara”, but improvises were made since the NES game has limitations in displaying too many enemies and moveable blocks, and some items not available from the PC version (e.g. mirror blocks and the enemy teleportation bug). The PC game has 32 rooms, so the unreleased “Kopio levels” are present to accommodate the remaining rooms.

This hack was made with the Neptune level editor.

If anyone has a copy of the original PC freeware game, please share it!

Here is the complete English translation patch for the Game Gear title, Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special. Not only has everything been translated, but some improvements to the game have been made as well, such as making the enemy encounter rates more reasonable and incorporating faster turning in the dungeons (as it was very slow by default). We hope you enjoy this release!
