* [http://hawxgame.uk.ubi.com/hawx2-mini-game.php An official 8-bit game] for ''Tom Clancy's HAWX 2''. It even allows you to unlock some exclusive content in the main game.
* ''[http://iplayif.com/?story=http://www.meltsner.com/random/Champion%20of%20Guitars.z5 Champion of Guitars]'', an hilarious [[Text Adventure]] take on ''[[Guitar Hero]]''.
* ''G-Force'' is an overhead 2D rendition of ''[[Tempest (video game)|Tempest]]'', the most recent versions exactly, given the [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]]. Interestingly, it is also based on a little-known home computer game with the same name, dating back to circa 1983, which already tried to translate the gameplay with one less dimension. No more official page but can be found [http://freeware.remakes.org/index.php?genre=&rand=0&sl=&al=G here.]
* Edmund McMillen, creator of ''[[Meat Boy|Super Meat Boy]]'', asked some fellow indie developers to draw title screens for warp zones, with the basic idea "if ''Super Meat Boy'' was your game". Among them Terry Cavanagh, who had so much fun he decided to throw in a little game out of it, looking a lot like his own ''[[VVVVVV]]''. [http://distractionware.com/blog/?p=1930 You can try it here.]
* ''[[Sewer Shark]]'' is an infamous [[Full Motion Video|FMV game]]. [http://www.parkproductions.btinternet.co.uk/sewershark.htm The demake by Park Productions] turns it into a vertical scrolling shooter, nothing exceptional but certainly more playable than the original. In a nice touch, you can choose to have it look like it's a Commodore 64, Spectrum, or Amstrad CPC game.
Line 71:
* ''[http://www.pineight.com/lu/ Luminesweeper]'', a GBA demake of ''[[Lumines]]'' made as a protest against the high price of the [[PlayStation Portable]] at launch.
* ''[http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=103143 C64nabalt]'' is an unofficial port of ''[[Canabalt]]'' on the Commodore64. It lacks sound effects, as well as some fine graphical details (but that would have been asking too much), but the rest is intact from the scrolling speed to the music, excellently ported to the SID chip.
* Even if not a straight demake but a spin-off of the main game, ''[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
* ''[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.
* ''[http://cascaras.tumblr.com/post/9095462676/microsomnium-game-watch Microsomnium]'' is ''Psychosomnium'', a small game by Cactus (of ''[[Mondo Medicals|Mondo]]'' [[Mondo Agency|Games]] and ''[[Clean Asia]]'' fame), as a [[Game and Watch]] handheld.
* ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' may be [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
* ''[http://www.holmadegames.com/bitofwar.html Bit of War]''. Originally this ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' demake was an ugly Flash game but it has been since redone completely, going for a [[Super-Deformed]] style and graphics close to NES specs. It is both playable online and downloadable.
* ''[http://glest.org/en/index.php Glest]'', a freeware game engine for [[Real Time Strategy]] games, [http://gamejolt.com/open-source/games/strategy-sim/glest-demake/2842/ remade in 2D].
