How about an awesome expansion to a 30something year old Zelda 2?

Im on the 3rd palace and it feels like an expansion, same gameplay. Its really good.

The explosion of expansions and general romhacks in the last decade has been beautiful. Not all of them are winners, but so many are. If gaming companies funded them and sold them, we'd be in a golden age. But we're just suing the kiddies these days.
