I first saw clips of MI late last year, and though my interest was piqued, I couldn’t find much else. PureSabe’s Rockman 4 Minus Infinity is one such hack, being less of a remix of Mega Man 4 and more of a total evolution of the Mega Man formula.
Further still, there are hacks so elaborate that it’s nearly impossible to recognize the source game at the heart of it all. While the majority of hacks aren’t worth your time, there are a few gems that rival what major developers could have conceived. The former is the kind of stuff hacking newbies pull to get a few shock laughs, while the latter results in a project that is more frustrating than entertaining. Or two, the level layouts have been altered to the point that no mere mortal could hope beat the game and keep their sanity in check. One, somebody took an old game from a legacy console and slightly altered the color palette or sprites to make it look like, for instance, all the boxers in Punch-Out!! are bare-ass. When you hear the phrase “ROM hack,” two thoughts may flitter across your mind.
