Yars' Revenge
Also know as: Yars Revenge | Yar's Revenge (16K NROM Overhaul)
A touched up version of a port of the Atari 2600 game, "Yars' Revenge", for the NES. This is a graphics hack and bug fix for the Nice Code FOAC Plug And Play port of Yar's Revenge for the NES. Pretty sure the original ROM was extracted from an Atari Flashback or similar plug-and-play device, but has been converted to fully work on NES hardware as a 16x8 24KB NROM. I've added a fancy title screen, fixed some missed sound channel initialization subroutines that cause the game to soft-lock when you die and some color palette glitches that make the game impossible to play at later levels. I've tested it up to Level 15 or so at this point and it seems to work fine. Right now the end of stage explosion uses garbled up parts of the title screen, which I may replace but I think it looks pretty neat as is.
