Several ImprovementsMother Kojiro2017-11-10Version 1.2

This hack originally drew me in with some neat looking palettes for the levels, and it did not disappoint. My favorite stages are Bomb Man, which now has purple towers in the distance; and Ice Man, which has a bluish-purple ground with black skies that look fantastic with the white clouds. The other palettes are nice, but didn't quite blow me away, though Elec Man's stage came close; it could've used just a bit less contrast on the blocks. The sprites have been redrawn to create an entirely new aesthetic. The new robot masters look pretty cool, especially Guts Man.

In addition, there are little platforms, missing spikes, and extra power-ups throughout the game; it's pretty subtle - something not everyone will notice - and yet, it goes a long way toward making this beast of a game easier to handle; it's very well done. This is worth a play for a new experience, or if you're struggling with the original game in certain spots.

Megamix meets Megaman XKallisto2017-02-06Version 1.2

This graphical change hack is actually pretty neat. Lot of the designs seems to draw inspiration from Megaman Megamix manga, and a bit from Megaman X. Aside from that there is some minor stage tweaks, and item drop locations where needed to make things a bit more easier for the player. I saw no graphical bugs while playing through it all, and I can definitely saw this is a pretty solid hack, and can definitely recommend this one.
