Videogame Demake: Difference between revisions

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120905084817/http://amon26.site11.com/1_5_Games.html MooD]'', an arena shooter. The game it refers to is [[Sdrawkcab Name|quite obvious]].

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130929014745/https://mojang.com/notch/j4k/l4kd/ Left 4K Dead]'', another mini-demake by [[Minecraft|Notch]].

* Another [[Game and Watch]] demake: ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/535548 Greek and Wicked]''.

* ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6agVJf-Ew8 NES bootleg.] The graphics are actually ported well.

** There's also ''[http://www.moddb.com/games/half-life-2d Half-Life 2D]'', but it's quite a lousy game.

* ''[http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=26 ZPortal]'', the gameplay of ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' brought in the ''[[Doom]]'' engine through the GZDoom source port. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGzjvifGb4c See a trailer.] Interestingly, the project started before the actual release of the original ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' and was based on how the game appeared in the first videos released by Valve. The authors are the same as ''[http://cutstuff.net/mm8bdm/ Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch]''.

* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110424235034/http://www.hpfun.com/flash-games/shooting/doomparody.html Doom Parody]'', a Flash [[Choose Your Own Adventure]]-esque take on ''Doom'' with static images and limited animation.

* ''[http://www.textadventures.co.uk/review/112/ King's Quest V - The Text Adventure]''. Which is...well...a [[Text Adventure]] version of ''[[King's Quest V]]''.

* ''[http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfendoom_%28Wolfenstein%29 Wolfendoom]''. Instead of being just ''Doom'' backported into its predecessor for better or worse, it has an original and long storyline narrated in the internal "Read This!", putting B.J. Blazkowicz's [[Identical Grandson]] as a military consultant for UAC.

* ''[[Pac-Man|Pac]]-[http://www.pac-txt.com/ Txt.]''

* Even if not a straight demake but a spin-off of the main game, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20111030044909/http://gigasdrop.jp/game/sg8bit/ Steins;Gate: Henikuukan no Octet]'' aka ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Steins;Gate 8 Bit]]'' is more than worth a mention. An extension of the True End of ''[[Steins;Gate]]'', it is made to emulate the style of the Japanese adventure games of the 1980s on [[PC-88]] computers. So, commands entered with a text parser (and like in the old games, they have to be written in English while the rest of the text is in Japanese), FM synth music, simple line art, few and somewhat gaudy colors, even scanlines. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7hpNM6Z34o Look at a clip to get a better idea.]

* ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/548516 Runman GB]'' is a simplistic one-button game based on ''[[Run Man Race Around the World]]''. However, beside the lack of color the graphics are oddly better than the original in some ways.

* ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' may be [https://web.archive.org/web/20111007050105/http://allahweh.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/this-weeks-world-of-unlicensed-games-focuses-on-a-rare-famicom-treat/ the most well-known] among Chinese NES bootlegs, due to its replicating many elements of the original. Interestingly, the bootleg has a prototype which saw mass release and a finished version only found on one cart.

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]] 2D'', a 2D version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDELNiml8Jk Currently, only Sonic's story is playable.]
