While these games have become infamous for the hilariously bad animation quality, the studio that did them continued to do work for the videogame industry. They were contracted out to do the animation for the ill-fated Warcraft Adventures game by Blizzard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_Adventures:_Lord_of_t... Though the game was never released, someone leaked a copy years later, and playthroughs were subseq…

They also worked on IM Meen and its sequel, which retained a lot of the art style from the Zelda CD-i game animations (and garned some of the same internet infamy as a result).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My favorite romhack is https://alttpr.com/en (A Link to the Past Randomizer). It basically takes your rom and swaps the location of all items in chests, pendants / crystals, and can even swap enemies, keys in dungeons (for cross dungeon shenanigans) and entrances. So I much prefer the romhack to the original now, given my familiarity. Now if only I could play it on the switch... Edit: a recent playthrough had me with…

I wonder how it ensures that the game can be completed. My guess is that someone worked out every 'lock' with it's 'key' (be it an actual boss key for the boss dungeon, bombs for an item behind a broken wall) and then the randomizer has to swap out items anytime a key is found behind it's own lock. Maybe it is even possible to allow for play troughs that are winnable but where some items are inaccessible.
