Retro Games From 2018

A creative ROM hack that replaces Sonic with Kirby in the original Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis game. Kirby gains Sonic's speed and platforming abilities while retaining his signature copy abilities from his own series. Experience Green Hill Zone like never before with pink puffball physics!

Pokemon Gaia is a highly acclaimed fan-made ROM hack set in the volcanic Orbtus region. The game features an original storyline involving ancient geological forces, modern Pokemon up to Generation 6, and numerous quality-of-life improvements that enhance the classic Pokemon experience.

Pokemon Too Many Types is a wildly inventive and humorous ROM hack that completely reimagines the Pokemon type system. It introduces over 30 brand new types – such as Plastic, Sound, Food, and Cosmic – while removing all traditional types. Every Pokemon, move, and ability has been reassigned to this bizarre new type chart, creating a hilarious and mind-bending strategic experience.

Pokemon Odyssey is an ambitious fan-made ROM hack of Pokemon FireRed, known for its extensive open-world design and emphasis on exploration. Set in the vast Aura region, the game strips away traditional gym badges and linear progression, instead focusing on discovering the secrets of ancient civilizations and collecting scattered 'Mystic Stones' to progress. It features a heavy emphasis on puzzles, platforming elements, and a non-linear narrative.

Dragon Ball Kart 64 is a comprehensive "reskin" ROM hack of the classic Mario Kart 64. Created by the modder ImmaVegeta and released in early 2018, it replaces Nintendo's cast and world with characters and themes from the Dragon Ball franchise, letting players race through iconic locations like Planet Namek and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
