* [http://www.ericruthgames.com/ Eric Ruth]'s ''Pixel Force'' series, famous game franchises as if they were released on the NES in [[The Eighties]]. Unfortunately they also share an annoying keyboard control scheme (and it can't be changed). So far he has produced three: ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' as an overhead shooter for one or two players, and with the locales of the first game reproduced quite faithfully; the first ''[[Halo]]'' as a ''[[Contra]]''-esque platform/shooter, with a few overhead sections on vehicles and appropriately chip-tuned musical themes; and ''[[DJ Hero]]'', complete with hit songs from the era. The latter [[Screwed by the Lawyers|got pulled]] because of Universal Music complaining about the chiptune rendition of the ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' theme.
* Ruth has produced further demakes, although they are not part of the ''Pixel Force'' series. One is ''[[Team Fortress Arcade]]'': ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' as a side-scrolling, arcade-style [[Beat'Em Up]].
* Ruth's most recent game is ''[[Serious Sam]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922183326/http://www.desura.com/games/serious-sam-the-greek-encounter The Greek Encounter]'', an overhead shooter in the signature 8-bit style. It's part of Croteam and Devolver Digital's initative that has produced several indie games based on the franchise.
* ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Rockman_7_Famicom Rockman 7FC]'' and ''[http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Rockman_8_Famicom Rockman 8FC]'', which de-make the only two non-8Bit entries of the classic [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] series. Interestingly, 7FC predates Capcom's own ''[[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] 9'', while 8FC was released between ''9'' and ''10''.
* Capcom also produced ''[[Dark Void]] Zero''. While not technically the same game but a prequel, it brings the action and flight mechanics in pixelated 2D. Many people found it more interesting than the main game.
