I just really got nostalgia for Reading and the Spy Invasion, a puzzle/exploration hack with promising story, custom graphics, original character, and just dug up the thread only to realize the screenshots are all gone, there's no link to any patch, and the only way I am remembering it right now is because I was a beta tester... then just like that, poof. No way to experience it again.
Another hacker who went then by the name InvisibleCoinBlock, had a really promising Zelda-themed SMW hack with a lot of ASM work put into it to make it actually feel like a decently full-featured Zelda platformer - Link actually played like Link - that also disappeared. Azure Chaotic was another hack that was so different and advanced but with enjoyable exploration levels, not just an ASM exposé.
I can think of a few other hacks I found also inventive or inspiring, things that I am really eager to play or makes me want to pick up the tools and get to work more; makes me want to learn something. These 3 are especially vivid to me.
Does anyone want to take a moment to remember hacks you were really hyped about, and what do you have to say about them?
edit: WYE, thank you so much for sharing that site
Just look above you...
If it's something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it!
