I've played oth at the request of Raivu and they are legit. The first one is a little bugy but the second uses a rom of an actual game and works really well. the server is full sometimes though.
Have you guys messed with such things? They are fun if you have the time. If people really get into the second one I don't see why we couldn't set up our own server.
