This is an ongoing project of mine to completely overhaul the Mad Max NES game by Mindscape. It's a notoriously bad game, and I'm not even completely sure I can say that there is enough to salvage to make it a good game. But I can make it significantly better, and that is all that counts.

So far I have

  • Converted all the game text to ASCII, and re-arranged the graphics accordingly and to make them easier to edit.
  • Fixed the notorious problem with the final password of the game, which originally didn't give you enough crossbow bolts to kill the final boss rendering it useless.
  • Converted the game music back to the original key and time signature from the original sheet music, which had been altered when converted to the sound engine.
  • Re-Scanned all of the digitized artwork in the game to make it more movie-accurate.

In the future I will be redrawing much of the overworld, cave exploration, demolition derby and final crossbow fight graphics and resampling much of the digitized sound.

Hi!
Can I apply both patches to the same file? Or is it that I can have only one applied per file?
Thanks!
