I wouldn't be a very good Aspie if I wasn't creative. So what does that tell you? Wanna know what Schwa Magic is? It's what I call a special creativity that only my level of unity with my imagination and fantasy soul can achieve. This page is chalk full of beautiful, juicy downloads, up for grabs by the masses, just waiting to be downloaded... and these consist of Fiction stories, Rom hacks, sprite comics, and just about anything you can think of! All for you! And don't worry, for the Rom Hacks I will be glad to provide screenshots. "Prepare to be amazed!"
So, no more trash talk, eh? Les' git dis party started!
Like Starcraft? Yes? No? Someone's gotta, and for a while it was me. This combines my former love for Starcraft with my perpetual love for writing, generating a fantastic Fanfic offspring. This Fanfic is about me, the main character Schwa, on a mission to destroy some Zerg Queen units and save a Terran base with some clever tactics. It has action, dialogue and romance-- what else can you ask for, besides boxing mummies? (Sorry, there are no boxing mummies in this story.) Enjoy! Size- 54.5KB
Second on the list is a brand new The Legend of Zelda, the same kind you'd find if you looked for the first NES game but slightly better graphics, awesome music and an epic journey across a mountainous overworld and 14 tight new dungeons. However, running this game is a little tricky, as you will need another program to make it run. Go here, to learn about this program we know as Zelda Classic, and here to access tons of Quests, Tilesets, Midis and graphics done by elite Quest designers. By the way, this is my only Quest, but people have e-mailed me saying it's good stuff, so even if the graphics are mostly 8-bit, you may be surprised!
The story behind Molka: Ganon, who of course is Link's arch enemy, conspires a way to lure Link to his doom, which is to kidnap Zelda and take her to a place with really tough enemies. Link eventually finds out where Zelda is hiding, the mountain region of Molka. However, the law there requires him to not bring ANY of his items save a sword, boomerang, and potion... so as he starts his new Quest, that's all he has to work with. Good luck, Link! Size- 809KB

Over the years I have had a LOT of perseverations. Megaman was one of them for a while, and while I was in that state of mind I managed to produce my very first Rom Hack of all time, Megaman 4. A Rom Hack is what you get when you take a Rom and change the hexadecimal values inside the file. By doing this, you can pretty much change the game in whatever way you want. That's what I did with Megaman 4, using MegaFLE to help me (which is a Rom Hacking program btw), and the result is new colors, completely new level designs, a few new graphics, and overall a new game to explore! Download away!
Here is how you get a Rom Hack to work. First, download the correct Emulator. I suggest FCEUltra for this hack, because it's an NES hack and FCEUltra is one of the best NES emulators in existence. Second, you'll need a Megaman 4 US Rom. I can't tell you where to get one, however, because if I did I may be breaking a federal law... Do a Google search and you should come up with something. Third, you need Lunar IPS, which allows you to patch this file to your Rom, activating the hacked version. And finally, you need this file! Go to Zophar's Domain to get Lunar IPS and the emulator, Google to find the Rom, and the above link to get this file of course. Once you have everything together, open Lunar and select Apply Patch, then select this IPS file, then select the Rom file... open it up in your emulator, and you're ready to play! Size- 16.9KB

Again related to the Megaman scene, this is a huge comic strip, a Sprite Comic to be more precise, of Snakeman's mysterious encounter with Sparkman in the rocky mountains. Remember, this was made several years ago and it's not the best comic in the world... and it's DEFINITELY no Bob and George if that's what you're thinking... However, I'm proud to say this comic contains 100% NES graphics all ripped directly from the game screenshots, by yours truly. I didn't get help from a single person. And it took work on my part! Enjoy. Size- 2.45MB
Whoosh! What was that? It was blue, and so fast it looked like a blur! It's Sonic the Hedgehog, the cool, blue, spiky-haired dude with a 'tude, and today he's up against the nefarious Dr. Ivo Robotnik in an epic duel for the planet Mobius! ...Sound familiar? That is OLD SCHOOL Sonic the Hedgehog, and let me tell you, the Old School style is my HERO compared to the new urban-type. WAY better. So good, in fact, that from ages 3 to 9, that was the only thing I ever did all day every day. Sonic this, Sonic that. It was the biggest perseveration I ever had! So, one day when I was a teenager and found the awesome program SonEd, programmed by Damian Grove, I spent about 3 or 4 months on a brand new Rom Hack that would show my former love and everlasting appreciation for my hero Sonic. Here is Sonic 1 The Blue Blur, a Sonic the Hedgehog 1 Rom Hack for the Genesis. All the levels are completely brand spankin' new, new colors, new level names, even new Special Stages... but it is a VERY HARD HACK, so be careful! You'll need to be able to beat Sonic 1 in your sleep to have a chance at this game. Set it up the same way as Megaman 4, but don't use FECUltra, use Gens this time. Gens is the best Genesis emulator out there, also found on Zophar. Size- 27.6KB

As you may know, I do a lot of online Forum Roleplaying. This is a collection of small pictures I was going to use for one RP in a certain forum, but after getting flamed by all the regulars on that Board (in my opinion, for being too "good" at Roleplaying), I withdrew and never visited that Board again. As a remembrance gift, I let them use the pics I was going to use. So I have them here, too, for you guys to use as well. (Funny thing about that Board, I think they shooed me out because they were scared. Their Roleplaying Forum was extremely barren, and here I come with a humungous RP in mind and my first post is gigantic, so nobody joins. Yeah, they were scared all right, and I may sound arrogant but, well... >.< ) I hope they prove of some use to you, because they haven't for me yet... except on my front page of this Site when I used them in my killer bio.

This is my all-time best Rom Hack. EV4R. See, a long time ago, I tried making my first Rom Hack of all, which was Super Mario Bros. 3, but I failed miserably because I had no idea what Hex was, or Offsets, or any of that Rom Hacking lingo... because I was a major n00b. In SMB3, you CANNOT exceed the original number of objects and/or sprites in any given level. Well, I didn't know that, and I did it so much that eventually my Rom ate itself, and ceased to work! So I gave up on hacking SMB3. Several years later, after I had hacked Megaman and Sonic 1, I knew quite a bit about how games function, and I decided to give this another try. Result: SUCCESS! I now proudly present Super Mario Bros. CHAOS CONTROL, a hack where Bowser gets a hold of a Chaos Emerald and transforms Mushroom Kingdom into a bizarre land. ALL the Overworld Maps are completely different, as well as every single level, and all the level and map colors as well, but the graphics haven't been touched. It's like playing a whole new Super Mario 3! Set it up exactly like Megaman 4, because this is also an NES game. Have a good game, my friend! Size- 43.9KB

Boulder Dash is one of my all-time favorite games without a thought. There have been a lot of variations of the game on the computer over the years, but the game started on the Amiga computer made by First Star Entertainment. They made it for many, many game systems, and eventually it got on the NES. Thing is, Boulder Dash hacks are very rare... this one is likely one of the only ones you'll ever see. But I'm telling you, I have composed 32 EXPERT-level difficulty levels, so if you ever manage to beat the game, I congratulate you! Only for the hardcore Boulder Dash player. Beat the original first.
