Image suggestion: Videogame Demake

I noticed that this article doesn't have an image. Here's one I made for Portal on the Game Boy Advance. I was wondering if you think this would be acceptable as page image. [1]◊

?

Why not grab a screenshot from Portal and 2D Portal to show the difference.

I'm wondering if a good image would be two comparison images. One showing the normal game, the other showing the demake, and the caption saying "Guess which came first?"

I think it would be better to go with names and dates. Something like *Top: Game X, 2002

• Bottom: Game Y, 2010

How about this◊?

I'd prefer something like this◊ for the top.

Heh, I kinda like that.

For the record, that's an actual game. Just search "2D Portal". A bitch to play with a touchpad though. I'm curious if we can spike their inbounds.

Mine's also an actual game. And it actually runs on a Game Boy Advance too.

... What's with the weird hat for the GBA Portal?

Also a comparison image seems necessary, as to avoid Fan Myopia.

@Trigger Loaded: I like you idea for the image caption!

Personally, I'd put an image comparison of Halo / Halo 2600, Team Fortress 2 / Gang Garrison 2, or Portal with the image posted by Deboss (it's from the 2D Portal that's also listed in the page).

@storyveller: I'll get a GBA emu later to try your demake and add it to the page.

^^ It has a different character because it started out as in IWBTG fangame.

^ It's more like a demo since only one testchamber is finished. That's why I haven't added it to the page already.

I like the Deboss' idea, because it has a blue portal and an orange portal; it is more easily identifiable as Portals. Also, I've actually played portals2D

It may be added to the Projects folder of the page if you want.

Bump.

Portal image is good enough, I only think demake image must be placed at the bottom.

I don't think Pickory (the guy with the hat) counts as a demake of Portal.

How about Smash Bros for Gameboy?

[1]◊

If that counts for the trope, then I like it.

That's good. Possibly contrast it with a screenshot from the Wii version.

Good idea.

Would a screenshot from luminesweeper, a GBA demake of Lumines for PSP, count?

Not really, because it looks like a graphical upgrade to Mine Sweeper (which, technically, it also is).

Since the stage in that demake image is based on a map from the N64 vesion, I went ahead and made a screenshot as similar as possible, then put the two togheter. Here's the result:

Winner right there.
