** ''[[http://ganggarrison.com/ Gang Garrison 2]]'', an excellent demake of ''TeamFortress2'', has gone on to become the most popular of the bunch, also thanks its posting in 4Chan, where some users started modding it without consent. The authors, however, welcomed their contributions and the game has been constantly updated.

* Even if not a straight demake but a spin-off of the main game, ''[[http://gigasdrop.jp/game/sg8bit/ Steins;Gate: Henikuukan no Octet]]'', also known as ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Steins;Gate 8 Bit]]'', is more than worth a mention. An extension of the True End of ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'', it is made to emulate the style of the Japanese adventure games of the early 1980s on PC-88 computers. So, commands entered with a text parser (and like in the inspirers, they have to be written in English while the rest of the text is in Japanese), chiptune music, simple line art, few and somewhat gaudy colors, even scanlines.

* ''[[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.
