Revision as of 04:56, 1 April 2020
These hacks usually change most/all of the graphics, and may modify the music slightly. Later hacks fully replaced the music with brand-new tracks. Inventor is only explicitly credited in a small number of these, so the extent of its involvement is unknown. Some more notes about the listing:
- Any games with extensive amounts of Japanese text have been translated into (mostly broken) English.
- Sometimes the music cues are swapped around, other times they are completely corrupted, possibly to either intentionally hide copyright (badly), or as a side effect of hacking the game.
- Many games feature a specific, generic character who resembles a cute-ified Ninja Turtle. For consistency, it will be referred to as "Conte" in the listing (after the game "Conte Enegy").
- There are many "alternate" versions of preexisting Inventor hacks that only modify the music and colors; these have not been documented here.
- Several color variations are actually conversions to VT01 hardware, an uncommon type of Famiclone that uses less colors than the standard NES. In reality, the colors weren't supposed to be different, but rather were adjusted to suit VT01's limitations.
- Most, if not all "Advanced" hacks change the graphics, remove all sound effects, and/or replace all music tracks with a single new track.
- Several of Inventor's hacks were based on already existing Funtime "Y2K" hacks (ex: Conte Enegy and Penguin are reworked from Turtles and Milk Nuts II). The Y2K series was likely not Inventor-developed, however, as there is no direct connection between the two companies.

Hacks all based on the Tank 1990 hack. |

In Golgotha, Bomberman is replaced with Lode Runner. |

|
Code Name Viper | ExtremityTask | Has only been found as partially overwritten graphic data. The main character has been changed into a girl and her cutscene portrait resembles Cammy from the Street Fighter series. |
