Wild Wild has been driving me crazy for a little bit now. This seems to be some sort of ROM hack of Spy Vs Spy on NES if this BootlegGames Wiki page is to be believed. According to the description for this hack, the spies are replaced with Honey from various Hudson Soft commercials of the 1990s(who would also appear in the Bomberman series) & the music from the original game is left intact. Thing is, while it's a list for hacks by Inventor, a Chinese company that makes these hacks for various bootleg Famiclone consoles, this hack's legitimacy as an Inventor hack has more or less been unconfirmed. And the other thing is that there seems to be no actual source as to where this hack came from! Seriously, I looked at the revision history & there is legit nothing on where this information comes from & the title screen image was not added until August 1st of this year by Ryangamer45, which ALSO didn't list the source of the image.
Image no longer works lmao. I actually tried reverse image searching for where the image came from on TinEye & Yandex, but neither was useful in finding squat about its origins. Was it available for download on some ultra obscure website & the site that hosted the ROM no longer exists? Who made it? It doesn't seem to be an Inventor thing. I assume it could be a weird mid-late 2000s NES ROM hack that might've been taken from a now gone YouTube video? Weird speculation I know, but that's the best possible guess I have as to where the heck this came from. Does anyone know because this is really bizarre to me.
given the debauchery that goes down on the bootleggames wiki in modern times i wouldn't be surprised if this was some weird kid's hoax. granted, there's also been a decent few inventor hacks that have resurfaced properly in the past 2-3 years so it could go either way. also, the file doesn't work anymore and i think i'd probably be able to gauge its legitimacy from looking at it

The link to the BootlegGames Wiki page still works, & the title screen is still on the page. Then again, I didn't go far enough to see when this hack was 1st seen other than suggesting some possible origins.

So...
any idea on if it's a real Inventor hack or not?

It's in Project Plug n Play (hosted on the site Lost in Bygone Gaming)
It's origin is dubious and there are many hoax hacks that get passed along as real Inventor hacks
The earliest iterations of Project Plug n Play were far less serious attempts at an archive as newer ones. Some of the hacks placed in it were fabrications done by the creator of the archive. Since then he has tried to remove them (and latter on passed along the role of curator to someone else) but some escaped detection and still are in the archive. Due to how simple the hacks are it is easy to make a convincing fake
If you decide to go seek out the archive, make sure you look for the most up to date version. Passing along older versions will allow for the hoaxes already found to circulate more easily
BGW has since overhauled the Inventor page and marked the hack as being suspected of being a hoax. On a somewhat related note, someone found a bio for the woman who was running Inventor, so that's cool
