[Hack] Arkanoid Revised (NES)

Arkanoid Revised es un hack de Arkanoid (1987) para Nintendo Famicom creado por Nesrocks que modifica el juego de Taito (Space Invaders, Elevator Action, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Darius) mejorando el apartado gráfico y jugable, además de añadir una opción para poder continuar la partida desde el menú de inicio.

El parche para poder jugar Arkanoid Revised se puede descargar desde ROMhacking.net y tiene que ser aplicado a la ROM japonesa con cualquier programa compatible con archivos en formato .IPS, como Lunar IPS o Floating IPS.

Actualización: Nesrock ha publicado una nueva versión de este ROM hack.

Lista de cambios y mejoras de Arkanoid Revised:

ADDED:

• holding the B button greatly increases vaus’ move speed
• new warp pill system

CHANGED:

• continue option available from the title menu after a game over (the cursor is moved to it automatically to prevent “new game” accidents)
• starts with 6 lives (on new game and continue)
• displays up to 9 lives on the HUD (originally only 6)
• graphics

NEW WARP PILL SYSTEM:

• the warp pill no longer creates the warp gate automatically
• grabbing a warp pill sends it to the inventory
• pressing SELECT spends a warp pill and opens a warp gate
• entering the warp gates sends you 2 levels ahead instead of just skipping the current level
• starts with 3 warp pills on a new game
• the amount of warp pills is kept upon continuing
• warp gate point bonus reduced from 10,000 to 5,000
• displays up to 6 warp pills on the HUD (new feature)
• chances for warp pill drop slightly increased

BUGFIX:

• now pausing works at the start of each level, not just when the ball is moving
• can continue even after watching the demo (previously would send to level 1)

REMOVED:

• cheat codes removed (continuing and level skip)
• 2 players mode removed
