ADParty Revived - ADParty (AKA pinkiedemo) reverse-engineer revival & Super Mario 64 mod by UlikDodikov
This is the fastest post I have ever made by a long shot.
ADParty, also known as pinkiedemo, is an ancient pony fan game tech-demo by awesomedreamcoder. The game was first unveiled to the world in a demonstration video very humbly titled "walk on cloud" on April 4th, 2011, almost 15 years ago — possibly older than some people reading this.
The game, made in a custom game engine, with no source code available, was considered a remnant of the past, with only 4 videos ever uploaded of it by the creator, all in 2011.
Then, this guy, UlikDodikov reverse-engineered it, making it compatible with modern hardware and operating systems, reviving the original game as it was, and even going as far as to make a full mod replacing the entire boring plains and hills map with the Peach's Castle from Mario 64.
There is really no way to elegantly transition these these two events split apart by a 14 year gap, during which most people presumed the game to simply be lost media or unplayable.
Is there much to do? Not particularly. You can play as the four ponies: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, walking/flying around generic green hills and/or a stripped down version of Peach's Castle. There are controls listed in the
keys.txt file for basic controls (press left click to run and right click to make the currently selected pony look at you — avant-garde to say the least) and other queer systems like surprisingly in-depth real time hair editing. Is it still awesome though? ABSOLUTELY!

Fallout Equestria Remains - Steam Release
Several years after the official release of this game, people still can't get enough of it. Fans of this fangame of this fanfiction (insane chain of fandom going on here) have put this incredible game on Steam, including multiple mods adding new content altogether, fixing notorious crash issues, and many much-needed balance patches — though I won't forgive the mod creators for nerfing my favorite spell to oblivion.
Not much to say overall. The game is worth a play whether you have or haven't played it before. If you haven't played it before, go on ahead and enjoy one of the best original pony games ever made. If you have played it before, you can get a breath of fresh air from the modded alternative. Simply start the game from Steam and you will be prompted to run the original game or the modded version.

Magic Project Friendship Final Version - Arena Mode
Magic Project Friendship — that one with the ponies and the guns, if you forgot — has received an update with the new Arena mode, taking place 2 years before the main story line and putting you in the metaphorical shoes of Bon Bon as she trains to become the leader of the new S.M.I.L.E. under Twilight's rule with her direct supervision.
The story follows Bon Bon working her way up from the bottom to regain her skills as the rightful S.M.I.L.E. leader after losing them during her retirement. The gameplay consists of fighting off waves of enemies in Twilight's Combat Training Program which she stole from Morpheus from the Matrix, a pocket dimension where all enemies and fights and deaths are purely simulations. During these waves your combat skills are tested against increasingly more stacked enemies, and some familiar faces too. Inbetween waves you will go to the armoury to spend your skill points, buy new weapons and recruit ponies into your own squad.
Also the ponies have big funny hats now.

Magic Project Friendship - Trixie Kills Twilight Sparkle
Magic Project Friendship is a new mod of Madness Project Nexus. The mod released... today! This is an Equestria Gaming original!
Don't know what Madness Combat is? That maybe is for the better considering the theme of this site. Basically it's like little gray flour sack-looking ""people"" murdering eachother gruesomely... but now it is ponies.
Anyways.
The plot of the game follows Starlight Glimmer breaking Trixie out of jail after being imprisoned by Twilight for the Alicorn Amulet incident—as all good friends would do, obviously. We follow the two quirky mares safely outside Twilight's chambers where they encounter... changelings? The Mane 6 take note of this and split off to investigate, revealing that numerous of their least favorite villains are back again—despite having been reformed like 12 times before or something—and want REVENGE, WOW THAT IS SO SCARY shivers. They have learned from their previous encounters that the Elements of Harmony aren't very good at shutting up villains, so now guns will do the talking.

They have learned from their previous encounters that the Elements of Harmony aren't very good at shutting up villains, so now guns will do the talking.
It is amidst this chaos that the princess herself, in-between the slaughter, feels inclined to lore-dump—EXPLAIN to us about her new project to make ponies more friendly to eachother, the titular "Magic Project Friendship", a spell which she plans to cast on every creature in and outside Equestria. Surely this won't be a major plot element which we will learn the unpleasant details of later, right. Totally and absolutely, but unfortuntaly Trixie disagrees, as she goes on to investigate on her lonesome the intricacies of this Project, because she just cares oh-oh so much about Equestria (she just wants revenge on Twilight Sparkle).
You can watch our playthrough to get an idea of the game on the channel:

The ORIGINAL Scoot Hard by Waffle Iron Studios
Yeah, so, funny story: while replaying Scoot Hard DX, I randomly stumbled upon the ORIGINAL Wolfenstein mod, Scoot Hard. I myself thought it was lost to time, but it's here, rough edges and all.
There is very little information about the game out there, without even a trailer to speak off. The only real source for this game is a short (and innacurate) page on the Wolfenstein Fandom Wiki about it, which is how I stumbled onto it.
Originally released in 2012 as a beta. (hoo boy!) It received a handful of revisions until late 2017, accumulating to a 3 episode experience which is even more brutal than its successor. (Do NOT play this game on the hardest difficulty. It is NOT fun.)
Wolfenstein enjoyers will surely get a knack out of it, but casual players who have little to no experience with the classic Wolfenstein games should:
- Move their ego aside and play on one of the easier difficulties.
- Watch a playthrough of it or...
- Just play the successor...
The game is a product of its time, and while a lot of the charm is still there — high-resolution cartoony graphics, silly enemy one-liners and high quality music and sound design — the game is limited by being a Wolfenstein mod, requiring you to learn keyboard-only controls for a first-person shooter, which will throw you off for a good bit. For historical reasons it should be known and documented, because the pristine gem that is Scoot Hard DX might not have been born without it, but if you want to experience the definite interactive story of Scootaloo running and gunning her way through the Rainbow Factory, just play Scoot Hard DX.

RariDoom by Bahatumay – Doom With Changeling Genocide To Rescue Your Friends and Little Sister!
Download the Packaged Version (Recommended)
Download the standalone Custom Edition WAD
Download the original Raridoom for ZDOOM
Download the standalone Custom Edition WAD
Download the original Raridoom for ZDOOM
Raridoom, also known as Rarity vs. The Changelings, is a DOOM mod by bahatumay about Rarity rescuing her friends and her little sister from the changelings. The game originally began development back in... shuffles imaginary papers... 2012!.
Blud is COOKED 💀
Queen Chrysalis may have had evil plans in the past and gotten away with them, but none of those compared to kidnapping Rarity's friends and her little sister, Sweetie Belle! Slaughter the hive with an unexpectedly wide range of unique unicorn spells and...
Remember when this scepter was a meme? This game didn't forget!
...other interesting weapons.
Don't be fooled by the age and obscurity. The game's slow and steady development cycle may have caused it to go under the radar, but the quality and quantity of content it boasts speaks for itself! The game boasts 36 levels (including secret levels)! For reference, that is over twice as many as Scoot Hard DX, an equally awesome DOOM mod which we've featured before.
For technical reasons, we recommend playing Raridoom Custom Edition — yes, a mod of a mod — by Niko the Grunt. The mod (of the mod) adds more sound effects, fancier visual effects, and makes the game compatible with the newer DOOM engine. If you have no experience with DOOM mods and just want to just download and play, we packaged up the whole game for you here. Extract the archive, run
gzdoom.exe, hit Play and get blasting! If the game does not boot, change the Options to use OpenGL.Read further on for more information about the game.

Pony Joust By Nicky Case On The Arcade + Our Mod!
Pony Joust by nutcasenightmare, now known as Nicky Case is a small HTML5 game in the same vein as Pony Wings from the same creator. You play as Fluttershy scared out of her little wings jousting (the pegasus equivalent of jousting) against Rainbow Dash to knock each other into the mud (or lava)! The game was made in HTML5 to enable modding, so, for you more edgy gamers, we have our own graphical overhaul just for you. Check it out!

Scoot Hard DX: Daytime Drama Zero by Waffle Iron Studios. DOOM with Scootaloo in the Rainbow Factory!
Download on the official site!
Waffle Iron Studios have nuked Scoot Hard DX and stuff for various reasons. No matter, check the bottom of the article for downloads!
Yippie-ka-yay MotherB**cker
-Chicken, aka Scootaloo.
Scoot Hard DX: Daytime Drama Zero is a WIGZDOOM mod which released 3 years ago and which I am simply flabbergasted to see has not received any attention at all from any part of the fandom.
Loosely based on Rainbow Factory by AuroraDawn, you play as Scootaloo, who must escape the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation and get her friends back – by kicking flank! With tons of humor, an array of equine enemies, huge levels, powerful weapons, a look and feel like something off mid-2000s Newgrounds, and full voice acting.
This game is simply chock-full of love and passion. The game knows what it is and doesn't take itself too seriously. The voice acting complements it perfectly, being as cheesy as possible and reminding you that, yes, you are indeed playing a silly (but absolutely AWESOME) pony game.
The next part of the article will be me showing some of the awesome easter eggs and details I have found in the game. I highly recommend you check it yourself, as to not ruin the surprise. Mild spoilers ahead!

[Stardew Valley Mod] - Starswirl Valley
We previously highlighted a mod for Stardew Valley in our Equestria Gaming Catchup Post™ that converts the characters into anthro ponies, but this new, work-in-progress mod for Stardew Valley, which was recently released over on Nexusmods, actually goes and turns the valley's inhabitants into ponies. It's still a work in progress, but so far it's looking pretty good!
The mod can be found here:

Gardens of Equestria - This Coming Storm Prologue Chapter Released
Wow, it's been a hot minute since we've covered any mods on this site, hasn't it? This seems like a pretty good way to get back into the swing of those, though!
The first installment in a series of chapters, this one entitled "Prologue - The Watcher," of what seems to be a truly massive pony-themed Fallout: New Vegas modification called Gardens of Equestria went live very recently and is now available for download at NexusMods (NOTE: Requires Fallout: New Vegas and the Old World Blues DLC). Among the (naturally) new story, the mod's page promises new textures, fully voiced NPCs, a "fandom's greatest hits" radio station hosted by DJ-Pon3, an original opening cinematic, a custom soundtrack and new loading screens featuring future new locations.
Check out the download link above and the developer's website for more information on the mod if you're curious. Happy wandering!

Compilation Post #1
Hello! Sorry for letting the site go quiet for a while. Between other projects of mine and personal life things, there hasn't been much time to devote to playing through fangames to write individual posts. In an effort to bring some activity to this place regardless, I'm going to start writing little compilation posts of the smaller projects we receive in our submissions inbox. Expect a variety of content in these, from completed games to pitches for larger projects that just don't have enough information available yet to fill an entire article.
If any of the content here looks like it should have its own separate article, feel free to leave a comment saying so!

My Little Karaoke: Beta Channel
Last night, the team behind My Little Karaoke - an UltraStar song pack chock-full of brony music and other things, and pretty much the only thing in our karaoke tag - released a new update. Unlike previous updates, this one contains no new songs, but instead is focused on the game itself, moving to a brand-new launcher and engine with support for things like online leaderboards, duet songs, and a system to facilitate quicker song releases. Check their release post for more information.

My Little Karaoke: Additional Content Disc #3
For the third time in a row, the My Little Karaoke team has released a new batch of songs for aspiring horsefamous singers to destroy their vocal cords to. If you've seen this project before, you'll know what to expect; if you haven't, it shouldn't be hard to guess. Like always, the new pack can be downloaded from the project's official site, and the listing of new tracks will be copied below the break.

My Little Karaoke: Additional Content Disc #2
Last week, the crew behind My Little Karaoke - a song pack and modification for UltraStar for singing along with various pony songs - released a new content disc. The expansion provides a total of over 90 new songs according to the developers, including foreign language versions of a few official songs for you to improvise nonsensical lyrics over, as well as a bunch of brony music of... varying quality. (I liked a couple of them, anyway.) The update also comes with a new visual identity for the project.
You can find the download here, although the individual ZIP downloads of songs are no longer available, leaving the only option to download the entire 2GB ISO (which they seem insistent on using, as opposed to other, more sane archive formats for digital downloads like this) and extract the songs you want. The prior downloads have to be installed for an automatic installation to work, although nothing's stopping you from pulling the songs themselves into a custom UltraStar installation.
Read past the break for the list of new songs in this release.

PPPPPPonies
This has been sitting in our inbox for a few days undetected, but someone by the name of inderpxar modded VVVVVV to replace all of the characters with ponies. There are also a few dialog changes. There's not really much to say about a simple graphics mod, but it's an excuse to play through the game again, so I suppose it must be worth something. More information, and a download link with instructions for applying the mod, can be found in the Tumblr post.

EquestriaBound
EquestriaBound
Given the current popularity of both Earthbound and My Little Pony, it was inevitable that eventually someone would mod ponies into the former, and now the deed has finally been done. I'm not sure about the mod's quality, but at least it should give you folks something to play while you wait for Curse of the Lost Kingdom's first part to be released on April 30th.
So sit back, patch your Earthbound ROM and enjoy the ride!

My Little Karaoke: Additional Content Disc
My Little Karaoke
For those of you who are into karaoke and ponies, My Little Karaoke must be practically a godsend, and you'll be pleased to hear that they've released an additional content disc with a bunch of new songs for you to sing along to. It includes "the Equestria Girls soundtrack, silly things such as PFUDOR, and the first S4 song (Hearts Strong As Horses)", along with some performance improvements and general bugfixes. There may or may not be some other things, but I wouldn't know since I haven't really looked into it that much.
Will I play this myself? Probably not, since I'd rather keep my terrible singing to my goofy Skype calls, but if you enjoy being humiliated by a computer program criticizing your voice, this is for you. One can download it at http://www.mylittlekaraoke.com/index.php?pages/Game-download

Story of the Blanks Level Editor
While we wait around for that Story of the Blanks reimagining (which is apparently still under development, if we take their word for it), some anon on /mlp/ suggested that we post about the game's built-in level editor, which has been around since its release during the Creepypasta contest. To access it, the player has to open the game's SFW file, make the browser window much larger vertically than horizontally, click Play and then press Home+End. If you read the guide and figure out the editor, more power to you I guess. Still, it's not like this is really an appropriate tool for creating an entirely new game unless you're really crazy.
Also, the comments for our Creepypasta contest reveal that apparently there were two entries, but Story of the Blanks was the only one that was posted. I wonder what happened to that other one...

Pony Textures for Super Mario 64
Play Super Mario 64 on an emulator? Never fear, we've got ponies for that.
The Super Mario 64 Texture Pack is at it's best inside Peach's castle. The walls are painted with a bright Equestrian landscape, the floor bears Celestia's seal, and stained glass Nightmare Moon and Celestia replace the original circular window. In-level, apple trees are visible and the ground textures have changed somewhat, but the feel of the game has changed little. Still, it's entirely worth a try!
Trailer and installation instructions after the break!
