Mr. Gimmick!: Dark Gimmick!

This is a hack one of the greatest and most unappreciated game for Famicom.

This hack HIGHLY utilize game physics, especially star collisions. The whole game is fully playable and can be finished (including 7th stage and true ending)! If you stuck somewhere, chillout for a moment and use your brain. In most cases this will help a lot. ;d

Gimmick! One of the best game in my collection for NES/Fami. Great physics, great graphics, awesome music, high
difficulty and... short gameplay. Insane difficulty! ;)

I also made a famicom cartridge label. Perfect for private reproduction carts and multi-emulators.
