knievel1 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Am I dreaming or were there quite a few fun hacks of 80s arcade classics out there for MAME/ EMU? I've seen the Jumpman and Pauline Editions of DK - but aren't there a lot more . . . somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally made Pac-Man After Dark (the original) and NewPuc 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I always wanted to see more hacks of Tempest and other vector games. The only things I'm aware of is Tempest Tubes and a level creator/editor. And of course the cheat patches within MAME itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knievel1 Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Thanks, Scotty - you are correct. I think they bumped it to HBMame these days? I see so many NES hacks and such that I wonder why there aren't more classic arcade hacks. The DK ones are so beloved that you'd think someone would do the same with other classic games. I'm with Keatah above - I'd love to see Tempest and Battlezone - but mostly Zaxxon. ...and Dig Dug, Qix, Rampage, Burgertime, Tron, Gyruss..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundGammon Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I remember a couple hacked games that I found on rom chips put into actual arcade games. One was Centipede where the mushrooms were trees and the centipede were ducks! Another was a hack Super Mario Bros, where you were a kid on a skateboard. Also one for Pac-Man you controlled Popeye!

It is in both Mame and HBMame. In the wild, I had only seen it in the Hangly Man hack, never saw it in a standard Pac-Man game for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my mistake. I was very tired when I posted that. They did change the name from Misfit to HB (Home Brew) a few years back. Good catch.

I had only seen 'Popeye Pac-Man' in the Hangly-Man bootleg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
