How hard would it be to make multiplayer hacks of classic games? I'm thinking of two Links on a screen attacking bad guys. Mario and Luigi stepping on goombas and shooting pirana plants at the same time. [Edit by Bisqwit: Changed topic title. "Clever tactics to get one to look at the thread" contribute adversely to the usability of the forums. Don't do that.]

How hard would it be to... put a useful description into the topic, rather than having some vague incomplete concept in the subject field. Now when I look at this thread tomorrow, I'll have no idea what it's about and need to click it just to be reminded.

It's a clever tactic to get you to look at my thread. There wasn't enough room. :-(

How about "Multiplayer game hacks?" Anyway the only multiplayer hack I know of successfully is a Secret of Evermore 2player hack.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

Something like alternating turns in a Mario game isn't very hard. Creating an entire new player character during a game is another story entirely.

What i've wanted, and has been partially done, is play as different characters on other games, like ruy hayabusa on contra levels. You can see something like that on MUGEN. Look for MUGEN NES on youtube and you'll find various oddities.

I'm assuming the answer to this is Hard^x, where x = how good you want the finished game to actually be. You'd essentially be re-writing the game from scratch, since there's really no way (that I can think of at least), to do this easily with existing tools.
