Revolution X

Revolution X
Release Date: 1996
Genre: Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Revolution X is a weird arcade shooter built around rescuing Aerosmith from an oppressive futuristic regime. It is full of cheesy acting, ridiculous scenarios, and a lot of “so bad it’s good” energy that makes it more memorable than it is actually good.

Co-op Experience - Two players can move cursors around the screen and shoot through the campaign together, taking out enemies and blowing up scenery.

Rampage World Tour

Rampage World Tour
Release Date: 1997
Genre: Action / Arcade
Players: 1–2

Description - Rampage World Tour is an updated version of the classic arcade destruction game where players choose giant monsters and tear through cities one building at a time. It is simple, dumb fun with a lot of smashing, but it can start to feel repetitive if you play for too long.

Co-op Experience - Two players can team up and destroy cities together while swatting away military attacks and leveling everything in sight. It is easy to jump into and works best as a casual co-op game in shorter sessions.

Genre: Vehicular Combat / Shooter

Release Date: 1996
Genre: Full Motion Video / Shooter
Players: 1–2

Genre: Platformer / Arcade Compilation

Area 51
Release Date: 1996
Genre: Light Gun Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Area 51 is a home port of the arcade light gun shooter where players battle aliens and infected soldiers inside the famous military base. It leans heavily into cheesy live-action presentation, digitized enemies, and campy arcade sci-fi style.

Co-op Experience - Two players can shoot through the campaign together, covering the screen and reacting to enemies as they appear. The fun mostly comes from the fast arcade pacing, the cheesy presentation, and trying not to accidentally shoot civilians.

Amok

Amok
Release Date: 1996
Genre: Vehicular Combat / Shooter
Players: 1–2

Description - Amok is a sci-fi vehicular combat game where players pilot transformable machines through underwater and land-based missions. It has a darker futuristic style and mixes free-roaming combat with stage objectives, giving it a feel somewhat like an underwater version of Twisted Metal.

Co-op Experience - Two players can play in split-screen and work through the missions together while fighting enemy vehicles and completing objectives. The game is pretty difficult, so co-op helps make its chaotic and punishing stages a little more manageable.

Chrono Trigger

• Chrono Trigger
Release Date: 1995
Genre: RPG
Players: 1–2

• Description - Chrono Trigger is a turn-based RPG from Square that follows Crono and his allies through different time periods as they try to stop a world-ending threat. It is known for its time travel story, memorable cast, combo attacks, and one of the most beloved battle systems of the 16-bit era.

• Co-op Experience - This hack adds co-op support during battles. A second player can control party members in combat, splitting up the turn-based actions between players instead of one person handling the entire party.

Donkey Kong Country

• Donkey Kong Country
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1–2

• Description - Donkey Kong Country is a side-scrolling platformer starring Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they travel across Donkey Kong Island to recover their stolen banana hoard. It combines fast platforming, animal buddies, mine cart stages, and pre-rendered visuals that became one of the SNES’s signature looks.

• Co-op Experience - This hack changes the original tag-team system into simultaneous co-op, letting both players control Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on screen at the same time. It is more of a proof of concept than a polished full conversion, but it shows what true co-op in Donkey Kong Country could have looked like.

Final Fight

• Final Fight
Release Date: 1991
Genre: Beat ’em Up
Players: 1–2

• Description - Final Fight is a side-scrolling beat ’em up where Cody, Guy, and Haggar fight through Metro City to rescue Jessica from the Mad Gear gang. The SNES version was a famous downgrade from the arcade original, cutting content and removing the multiplayer that helped define the game.

• Co-op Experience - This hack restores the missing two-player co-op to the SNES version, allowing both players to fight through the full game together at the same time instead of being stuck with a single-player-only port.

The Lost Vikings II

• The Lost Vikings II
Release Date: 1997
Genre: Puzzle Platformer
Players: 1–3

• Description - The Lost Vikings II is a puzzle platformer where players guide a group of heroes with unique abilities through trap-filled levels and environmental puzzles. Progress depends on using each character’s strengths to solve platforming and logic-based challenges.

• Co-op Experience - This hack expands the game into a three-player experience so each player can directly control one character. Instead of one player switching between everyone, the puzzle-solving can be divided across the full team in real time.
