Here are some ROM hacks I've played and enjoyed.
>Pokémon
>Pokemon Pikachu Edition
- Based on 2nd Gen. Moderately increased difficulty. Dialogue and plot is exactly the same. Copious map changes however (can be annoying since everything is moved/out of sequence and you have to go through Dark Cave at the beginning of the game without Flash). Great if you loved G/S/C. Or Yellow.
>Pokemon Team Rocket Edition
- Based on 1st Gen. High difficulty. Completely new plot, dialogue, map locations, everything. Highly recommended.
>Sonic
Sonic 1 Megamix
- (Version 3.0 NOT any version after. Yes there are a ton of bugs but the changes in 4.0 are abysmal. Think Sonic Advance 2 vs. 3)
- Great balance of speed and challenge. I used to play this everyday like it was goddam heroin.
>S3&K Master Edition 2
- It's the Kaizo version of Sonic. I never got past Hydrocity 2. Great if you have a youtube channel.
>Final Fantasy
>FFVI Last Hope
- The guy who made this wiped every copy off the face of the Internet and asked the one guy who did a full walkthrough LP to take it down. But I still have a copy.
- Moderate difficulty, same story but with some in-game text and sprite changes. Its the best FF6 hack for anyone looking to replay the original but with an added (but fair) challenge.
>FFVII NES
- Someone was working on an English-translation patch last time I checked. This is an incredible abomination that deserves a lot more credit than it's gotten. But I still haven't played it.

That's all I can think of. Most of these can be found with a fair amount of Google and a sprinkle of archive.org
