/vr/ - Retro Games

What does /vr/ think about ROM hacks? Some fix bugs or dialogue, some double experience or money, some even change entire mechanics or the games themselves!

I was thinking of getting a few to add some QOL changes, but I can see this as going down the autistic rabbit hole of "making all my games better!" or "making them how they should be".

Are any of these worth it, or is this something tedious bullshit and I shouldn't listen to some random who says "yes, my hack is how the game was MEANT to be played!"? I did grow up with all the 8 and 16 bit games after all, and it was good enough then. Some of these hacks though...
