Recca Pure
サマーカーニバル'92 烈火
Sliver X's take on the Famicom shooter Recca: English menus including the hidden sound test, a difficulty switch on the title menu and a new Zanki Attack mode.
What's new
Recca Pure is an improvement hack of KID's 1992 vertical shooter by Sliver X. It puts the game's menus into English, including the sound test that the usual English patch leaves untouched (it opens when you hold Select after picking Normal Game).
It also adds two options to the main menu:
- a switch between normal and hard difficulty, toggled with Select;
- a new mode called Zanki Attack, in which shot enemies burst into bullets, turning every kill into a hazard.
An alternate version of the patch with a different title screen was released alongside the main one.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge following the instructions on the hack's database page.
