Whenever I see impressive ROM hacks running on original hardware I think about how they would have been received if they were released during the console’s generation. Talking about Sonic being in the original Super Smash Bros or being able to play Super Mario 64 with split screen would normally be pretty close to saying your dad works for Nintendo but if you could back it up with an actual copy of the game which would you choose to make yourself a schoolyard legend?

    Don’t know if you just improvised that off the top of your dome but I’ll upvote any reference to Mew at the back of a truck in Vermilion City in Red/Blue.

    My 9-year-old self would have loved that puzzle you just put together.

      Glad you enjoy it!

      And yeah, I just made it up over the course of maybe 45 minutes.

      Had to refer to some wikis a few times to get some of the details straight, I haven’t played anything Pokemon in about a decade haha.
