Stumbled upon these and didn't find any info on them anywhere. Seems like 2 interesting hacks of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

Someone actually burnt those to cart?
Fairly typical late 90s ROM hacks, so they should be in the GoodNES set, or Zophar's Domain probably still has the patches if you really want to see them. |

Found both in GoodNES.
The first one is "Super Mario Fantasy by Jordan Bieber (FF1 Hack).nes". This one actually had a bit of effort put into it, and has a new SMB-themed soundtrack and a number of text changes. I dunno how complete it is, I only explored the first town.
The second one is "Mario Warrior (Dragon Warrior Hack).nes". This is Dragon Warrior with Mario graphics and some name changes (e.g. Dragonlord -> Bowserlord) sloppily hacked in. Someone probably spent a whole afternoon on this.
I know there are plenty of decent NES hacks out there...why do pirates always choose the worst ones? |

That cartridge pictured is not a pirate. That's a real Famicom cartridge (Dragon Quest III) that someone (that Japanese guy from the website?) obviously made a repro cart out of. Look at the corners of the front label. Totally straight and hugging the corners of the cart recess. No Famicom (or even pirate) label is made without some level of roundness to its corners. |

yeah, its definitely someones home made repro. the fact that the back label is clearly older and completely legit looking (even with the indented numbers that pirates never ever reproduce) is kinda a giveaway too. |
