When you discuss game hacks most people will think of that one time that they played a hack of Super Mario Bros that had Sonic instead of Mario.

Work on FPGA based Commodore 65 Continues, Early 2016 Release on Schedule
July 2nd, 2015 Carl Williams The Commodore 65 was to be a major hardware upgrade to the venerable Commodore 64.

Legend of Zelda 3rd Quest Being Developed by Fans
June 30th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, the classic Nintendo 64 Zelda games were quite interesting, they were the first foray into the 3D realm for the franchise and for many, they were system sellers. Fans showed enough support for these two 64-Bit games that Nintendo re-released them on the Gamecube (and later the Virtual Console). Now a group of fans […]

February 12th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, Commodore, the company that brought us such great and venerable computers like the 64/128 and the Amiga.

Battletanx Blows Up Nintendo 64 – December 31st, 1998 – Today in Video Game History
December 31st, 2014 Carl Williams Battletanx on the Nintendo 64 did not have set sales records. The 3DO Company game certainly did open, even if ever so briefly, a new genre of gaming.

Bandit Gaming: Donkey Kong Jr Ported to the Commodore 64
November 8th, 2014 Carl Williams That old adage, what is old is new again, is certainly true in the homebrew scene as old gaming properties are constantly seeing new light on platforms they may have missed from official channels.
