^^^ Yeah, Outlands gets publicity in bursts, and I can see some people getting confused about it, because it IS so well done.
The title screen would tip people off, I would hope, though...
That game was what really got me interested in NES hacks. Way back before the PowerPak, when Leon K had just started making
repros (and the going rate was about $45) I commissioned the first one on cartridge. It actually upset a few people at the time,
but I HAD to play that game on the real NES.
Now that I have the PowerPak, I doubt I would repro anything like that again...no real reason to.
The second game I reviewed, is really wild. If you like FF style rpg's at all, you'll love it.
DEFINITELY check out the website I have listed in the article. It has quite a few more screenshots,
and I believe that is where the download is located.
Also, you can see some video on YouTube if you search for Dragoon X Omega.
Zzap, I definitely intend to give the topic some more publicity in the future. Unfortunately, I did start with what I think are the two BEST hacks in existence, but there is still a lot of good material that is worth our time and attention. I mean, think of how many mediocre legit releases we play on occassion... there are quite a few good hacks that are better than the "average" NES game.
