Did anyone ever play this one:



It was called Graal, now called Graal Online Classic. Basically, some dude hacked the Zelda: A Link to the Past rom, recreated his own game with the assets and put out user-friendly tools for anyone who wanted to do the same. You create your own sprite using available heads, choose your tunic colors, and away you go on what is essentially a multiplayer Zelda 3.

The best part was that you could host your own servers, create your own worlds, and import any art assets and midis you wanted. A whole art community existed around just making free art assets for the game.It was awesome. I used to mess around with it with very close irl friends. It was probably also my introduction to programming, as it had a Java/C++ interface for scripting NPCs and events.

I couldn't imagine what would happen if Nintendo made something like this themselves...
