*Rockman Claw box-art is the European box-art for ‘Mega Man’
*Wario Blast seems to be an NES version of the Gameboy game…kinda
*Sunman was never released, it was going to be a Superman game, there are hacks that change it back to being a Superman game.
*Sweet Home is an RPG that was fan-translated to English, considered the origin of the Resident Evil series.
Robocop vs. Terminator (NES) is an unreleased proto

I really liked this episode, thanks for making it.

“The new series is pretty good.” Brony Nerd confirmed. Maybe play Story of the Blanks or the FFVI pony version or Ponyvania: Order of Equestria

You guys should do some snes msu-1 hacks. There’s a fantastic instrumental version of the super castlevania soundtrack out there as well as a great rock version of the super ghouls ‘n ghosts soundtrack.

Hey Mike you like Bomberman?
I programmed a version for the NES that has four players. Also eight levels and a whole screen full of options.
The rest of the retro scene is currently making a lawyer-friendly version out of it but here you can get the “original”:

tempect.de/senil/progra/bmbrman3.nes

Not a hack, it’s a homebrew.

I know you prefer games on cartridges instead of ROM only, but there’s only three prototype carts so far. Maybe one day I’ll ship you a copy.
