ROM Hacking

Showcase

This patch was over three years in the making, but a translation patch for the Famicom Disk System game, “Dracula II: Noroi no Fuuin” (Dracula II: The Cursed Seal”) has been released. Thus, this concludes the re-translation efforts of the NES/FDS game series that would become Castlevania.

You play the role of Simon Belmont, in the events that takes place seven years after the events of the first game. Upon defeating Dracula the first time, a curse was placed upon the vampire hunter which will claim his life in due time. To undo this curse, Simon must gather five of Dracula’s body parts, each inside one of five mansions, and gather them to the ruins of Dracula’s castle to burn them, bring Dracula back to life and defeat him again. (Depending on how much time it took to beat the game, you can earn one of three endings.)

Super Block Bros. is a romhack of Super Mario Bros that replaces all graphics with a solid color.
