** The runner-up, ''Sulkeis'', deserved its place because it's not just a lower-tech ''[[Seiklus]]'': while shorter and less varied, it's got completely new levels and situations that weren't present in the original (like the water streams erupting after one of the treasures is found).
** Among the other games an honorable mention goes to ''[[Plants vs. Zombies]] [http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/strategy-sim/plants-vs-zombies-retro/2796/ Retro]'', a nice rendition of how the game could have been if it was published in 1986, even if it's a limited [[Endless Game]].
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131206145239/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.
