GeoBreezer ROM Hack Guessing Game - Summer 2021

"Imagine a geoguesser game but with smw hacks, where you guess the hack based on a random screenshot." -gbreeze

Welcome to the GeoBreezer guessing game! I will post some screenshots, and you guess where they came from. I will cover new and old, Western and non-Western, kaizo and standard, on- and off-site. I might even trick you? Let's see who can guess them all.

Below are the screenshots. PM me your guesses (here on SMW Central), and please keep the number of messages to a minimum. Your chance to guess will end when the time for posting threads is over, and I will announce the results soon after. You can collaborate or use references, because this is just for fun, but don't post your guesses in this thread or give any hints whatsoever!

On judging: Some hacks have official names, while others are known by a variety of names. You can give me either one, but I can't guarantee I've heard of an obscure nickname. I will do my best to judge fairly, but I won't give credit if your guess is mostly right.

Super Mario World: Return to Dinosaur Land (RAGB)

#7... thinking.

Please don't post any hints or guesses. It ruins the game. You can PM me your guesses.

Too bad I'm new to this community and I don't recognize any of these hacks! Yey!

Honestly a really good idea for a forum game. I'm surprised that I haven't seen this done before.

...That said, I pay more attention to contest entries than full hacks, so I don't really recognize too many of these. That said, I'll probably send some of my own guesses in soon nonetheless.

YO SKRILL DROP IT HARD

What an ingenious idea for a game! I could see this possibly being a game the site hosts for an event of some sort, and it encourages members of the community to play more hacks. If this ever did become official, maybe there would be some rewards/trophies.

Too bad I'm not much of a hack connoisseur.

I've only got an idea as to what one of them might be, that's what I get for not playing enough popular hacks

Also thank you for reminding me to play GeoGuessr, I've been giving them $2.99/mo free for 6 months

Shit! I immediately know a handful (and with minor lookup I'm sure I'd find others), but probably not enough to place considerably well

I'll still try though when I have a bit more free time.
At least I seem to be better at this than VGM contests, lol

I really like this idea!

I'm lucky I was an active follower of some of the hacks listed here

But I have to look up others, lol
I dig the idea a lot! Reminds me of an ancient forum game I took part of ages ago.

I think I know a couple of these.

The #19 one have a special place in my heart.

I should probably know more of these as someone who moderates hacks for the site...

I think I know about six of them so far from the top of my head?

This is a brilliant idea! There are few things I'm more "interested in despite being terrible at" than guessing the whole based on a part. (like geoguessr, which I don't play but which is really fun to watch.)

Most of these completely elude me. Just goes to show how few hacks I've been playing lately. (by which I mean the past eleven years

)

Glad to know I recgonize at least 3 of these ones. Good game idea, though imo this is more aimed to hardcore hacks fans.

I definitely know 6 of these, less so by name for some of them, but I've seen these 6 before. There might be a 7thor 8th that I have seen but I haven't gotten that far, or just haven't seen that part of the hack.

Why do I strongly feel the same?

YY-CHR > Photoshop.

I have to say that this idea is amazing, unfortunately I only know a few.

~~"Gbreeze" reminds me of "GeoBreezer" lol~~

Just to be clear, only 26 hours to get your guesses in. I need time to tally the votes and post the results, so the submission deadline is exactly when the time for posting threads ends.

Thanks for playing, everyone! The results have been posted. I hope you enjoyed this game

Thanks for the shiny crown and hosting this--it was fun.
