@darknior Funny you should mention upgrading the game with two players. I was in the middle of some work and forgot to update the last post. There is a hack of the totally awesome "Super Dodgeball" that makes it a 4 player game instead of just two players. You might want to add that upgrade too. ;)

[darknior]

@used2berx Final Fantasy 7 that re-tells FFVII is really excellent, i love it :)
I have already see the hack on romhack but never try it before.
I don't know for "Super Dodgeball" 4 player hack, i love it, my 1rst real 4p game on NES lol

Not really fan of the NES Final Fantasy IV hack ... i will not add it to the collection.

[Used2BeRX]

Bummer to hear you didn't like FFIV. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked pretty sweet.

Not sure how you are about RPGs in your set overall, but I think I might have another good translation suggestion for you if you haven't added it. It's called Lagrange Point. The graphics look great for an NES game and the music is pretty sweet so far. It's got a Sci-Fi theme. I think it might be one of the better RPGs ever released on the system. Shame it was never released in English, but thanks to the Aeon Genesis team we'll be able to play it.

Thanks, i try it and it is really a cool RPG :)

To be honest i don't made the NES best of list, it was the work of @Gilou9999 and @waal .
I work on other list like PSX, MSX MSX2, NEC ...
And when i read the list quickly i think is is a good starting point. And now i'm working on Xtra to use it on our PI :)
But yes like some other list i know i will take 1 or 2 weeks on this set to add Hack and Trad in a near future. It is normal if we forgot some good games the first time i think.
If you think to other Hack and Trad, tell it to me :)

The new games/hack/trad that i already began to add with Xtra :

I already have test many hacks ...

Same with The Legend of Zelda - Awakening of Onox, cool hack but not finished, only one quest, not interesting.
Or also the Mario Kart for NES, it is not a real Mario Kart like on SNES, only a racing game not really interesting !!!

Some news covers i made to have a better Cover set :)
I use them to cover my Translated and Hack games, to not use the same cover two times ;)

Adventures of Lolo (Japan) -> EggerLand in Japan, maybe the number two because it is different than the other Eggerland - Meikyuu no Fukkatsu (Japan) [T-En by Kapow v0.9]
I completely invent the cover... impossible to understand how is the real one.

Adventures of Lolo 2 (Japan) -> Lolo 1 in Japan

Adventures of Lolo 3 (Japan) -> Lolo 2 in Japan

American Dream (Japan) -> Last REMASTER with a new source

Battle of Olympus, The (Japan)

I make it with this ... hard work :p

Ganbare Goemon! - Karakuri Douchuu (Japan) [T-En by Spinner8 v1.01] -> NEW remaster for the REAL Japan Cover!

[Used2BeRX]

As always, looking great man.

I tend to use the exact same cover for a translation or hack in my packs as whatever the original game was based off of, myself. The only exceptions to that are if there are high quality fan art or official art made by the author of the hack in some cases.

I'm glad you're liking some of my suggestions for games to add. I'll let you know if I come across more that you should add. I can't remember, do you have both of the D-Pad Hero and Battle Kid games in the set? Those should be added if you don't.

It's kind of hard to make suggestions sometimes. It's all pretty subjective what makes a game worthwhile to add. That's why I'm making the collection I'm making that will have just about everything in it. I figure that way people could make their own decisions on what games are their own favorites. :)

I figure as long as you have great boxart and Xtras to go along with them, sometimes all that extra work is more enjoyable than the games are.

EDIT: I just found a must-have translation here that you've got to add. http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1032/

They call it "Castlevania II English Re-translation (+Map)", but I'm calling it "Castlevania II: Ultimate Re-translation" in my collection.

Check the site they link to on the patch page. It's a more in-depth look at the patch and it gives you the ability to download a patch in many different languages (including French), as well as allows you to select different options for the patch.

The Angry Video Game Nerd would have loved this game if it played like this back in the day. The day to night palette fade instead of the text box was smooth and amazing.

Yes you are real, it is enjoyable to work on Photoshop to make all this extra wirk :)

"Castlevania II English Re-translation (+Map)"

Woaw i love it, thanks :)

[darknior]

@used2berx said in My Remastered NES Covers:

I already remaster the covers too ...

Battle Kid - Fortress of Peril (USA)

Battle Kid 2 - Mountain of Torment (USA)

And my new Castlevania JAP covers for translations :)

Castlevania (Japan) -> Full remaster with external stuff !!!

Castlevania II - Simon's Quest (Japan) -> Impossible to found the real one, inspired by the FDS cover version.

Castlevania III - Dracula's Curse (Japan) [T-Fr by Generation IX v1.0]

Like ever i create all the LOGO too, they will be available in the FULL FINAL pack.

[Used2BeRX]

@darknior Impossible to find because it doesn't exist :)

Simon's Quest only was released in Japan on the FDS.

[chelochelini2014]

perfect work

[Used2BeRX]

Hey darknoir

Did you actually try that Final Fantasy IV hack/translation?

I'm taking a look at it now and it doesn't look like much was done with it other than translating the characters names and the battle commands. Is that right?

Bummer if it is... I thought it was a full translation of the game.

I thought you might save me some time trying to patch it if you've already tried it out and could tell me if the story is translated or not.

EDIT: Add Tetris Zero if you don't have it.

You'll thank me later ;)

I understand, but the game is a .NES
And the patch are for NES version : http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1032/
It is strange ...

@used2berx said in My Remastered NES Covers:

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1306/

This hack fixes the poorly made battle sprites for the characters as well as translate the battle commands and character names.

No story, it is why i don't like it too.

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1797/

This is a stupid two player hack ... it is an alternative battle game, there is no interest to use it :(

@used2berx said in My Remastered NES Covers:

Add Tetris Zero if you don't have it.

Easy to know if i have it now, make here a CTRL+F on my list and search :p
I don't have it ...

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1013/

So cool your hack, i love it :)

Yeah... After I said that to you I actually had to look into it a bit more myself since I was figuring out what boxart I was going to use yesterday. Unlike a standard translation it uses the US rom. I guess that's why it's called a "re-translation" and it was in the hacks section instead of the translations section.

Yeah... bummer. I was excited about that one and couldn't figure out why you didn't like it. Then I noticed the no story too.... :(

Does these include any high res images of the Parodius series games ?
Also looking for high res City Connection cover.
In case, could you share them ?
