Features

Videogame Cameos

"One of the Easter eggs I really like is the cameo appearance, when one game makes a reference to another. This is our listing of and tribute to cameos in gaming, for your entertainment, education, and information." (four pages)

The secret art of Game Hacking - Diary of a ROM hacker

"While most modern games stay fresh by offering level editors or expansion packs, the classics can get boring rather easily. Let's face it; it can get old playing the same Pac-Man maze over and over again, and who wouldn't want to see a new level added to Donkey Kong for a change? That's where hacking comes in."
