It has long been known that female characters are underrepresented in video games. In the case of the main character of a game, that problem was even more pronounced. While modern gaming has been far more attentive to addressing this deficiency, classic gamers still face that issue in the vast majority of cases. It was with that in mind that in 2013 an attempt began to create a female protagonist version of the Sega Genesis RPG Shadowrun.
Shadowrun is set in the dystopian cyberpunk setting of Seattle in the year 2058, a world where races like elves and dwarves exist, magic is real and present, and mega corporations run everything via a massive computer system called the Matrix. In the original Genesis version the player assumed the role of Joshua, a man on a mission to find the murderers of his brother Michael. Becoming a shadowrunner, a mercenary of sorts who carries out various jobs in the Seattle underworld, the player makes their living by running errands, battling thugs and magical creatures and even hacking the Matrix as they search for clues to the identity of those responsible for their brother’s death. The player has the option of playing Joshua as a samurai (fighter), decker (hacker) or gator shaman (spell-caster) but like many games of the time is limited to the option of a male character only.
The Shadowrun Female Player modification seeks to correct that oversight by introducing the character of Judith in the role of Joshua. In most respects the game play is left completely intact so that the experience of the game is not altered. Some dialogue was rewritten to accommodate the change of the protagonist’s gender but the story and its basic elements were not changed. In doing so, the mod’s creator aimed to provide the same experience for players while allowing them the ability to identify with a female protagonist instead of the traditional male one. Having two young nieces whom he hopes to someday introduce to classic gaming, the mod’s creator felt that it was essential that the experience be as similar as possible. New to ROM hacking when he began, this project was as much of a learning experience as it was a passionate quest to provide his nieces with a game they can some day play. Possible future versions will focus on cleaning up any hitherto unknown bugs as well as changing a shot from the opening animation to reflect the alteration of the main character.
Whether you’re a female gamer who longs to play a classic Sega Genesis RPG as a character that you can identify with or a male gamer who just wants the refreshing change of perspective, the Shadowrun Female Player modification may be the version for you.

Posted here on the site is a translation patch in English for the Famicom System Disk game, 19: Neunzehn. This is a single player strategy game in which you can play 1 of 4 factions in which you have to overtake the other 3 in order to win the game. The rules of this game are almost like that of the Japanese chess game Shogi. Each faction has its pros and cons so choose wisely when you decide who you want to play or base your decision on whether you want a more difficult or easy game to play.

Prepare for the Amnethen Apocalypse!
This is an awesome addendum ROM hack to the already-fantastic ‘Dragoon X Omega’ ROM hack! ‘Sliver X’ did some incredible and amazing work for Dragoon X Omega.
While the original intention of this hack was to tweak just a few things at first, it soon blossomed into much more than the sum of its parts. What you see here has taken well over a week of relentless rom hacking!
The ENTIRE game has been extensively playtested to make sure that the patches work as intended. Make the game as easy as you like!
Multiple IPS patches are included in the download to customize your experience YOUR way or you can just apply the ‘Apocalypse’ patch itself to have everything all in one go!
Feedback is welcome and appreciated.
Now go show the Neverborn that HELL HATH NO FURY!

The newest and ‘hopefully’ final Mega Man X3 - Fully Playable Zero is ready to go! The differences from this version and the other aren’t visible in some areas, but it’s dramatically improved underneath the hood of the game.
For this version expect FAR less bugs, although, there may have been some that slipped by. Zero’s new animations have been greatly altered and he now has a proper victory animation!
The biggest change of all is that this ‘SHOULD’ be compatible with most anything now compared to the old version.
Hopefully everyone who enjoyed the old version can enjoy the newer one!
