TIGCompo: Bootleg Demakes!

Posted by Derek Yu Fri, 01 Aug 2008 04:24:00 GMT

The Bootleg Demakes Competition

Demakes: remakes of games on older generation hardware. Bootleg: not infringing on anyone’s intellectual property. You have a month.

It’s on like teflon.

Addendum via Lorne: Stop complaining about the rules! Comp ends september, rules are in the definition of those words up there ^. Pretty much, make it lower tech then the original game and don’t directly use copyright material.

    OH JOYOUS DAY! I HAPPENED TO BE THE FIRST COMMENTATOR TO STUMBLE ACROSS THIS WEB-TYPE PAGE. I SHALL NOW EXCLAIM VICTORY OVER THE INFERIOR. HUZZAH!

    On a more serious note, I am looking forward to the results of this. I can only imagine something like Dynasty Warriors with 8-bit graphics and not sucking like the GBA/DS games.

    awesome one, although finding a modern game that isn’t a sequel from ye olde days is going to be tricky =p

    Good stuff, good stuff.

  5. IndieJones said about 4 hours later:

    I can’t wait to finally have a chance to play “Past Right And Wrong”.

  6. OrR said about 5 hours later:

    Damn, how do you come up with these awesome competition themes?!

    Looking forward to 2D sidescrolling Mirror’s Edge as well as dozens of NES Guitar Hero implementations…

  7. Tanner said about 6 hours later:

    FUCK YEAR! More games for me to play. :3

    I am setting an appointment for one month from today to come back to this website, because I am sure I will not regret it.

    This is a great idea, I can’t wait!

  10. Andy said about 7 hours later:

    epic win.

    someone should make a c64-esque spore demake.

  11. Toadsanime said about 8 hours later:

    I’m presuming the idea for this competition was spawned due to the likes of ‘Goldeneye 2D’, wasn’t it? This sounds like one of the best competitions you’ve come up with. I truly cannot wait to witness the outcomes next month.

  12. Melly said about 9 hours later:

    Hell fucking yeah, lets kick even more ass. I take dibs on Shroud of the Titan!

  13. Ryan said about 10 hours later:

    What a great competition theme. Really looking forward to seeing what people come up with!

  14. Günter said about 11 hours later:

    This is going to be frekain’ EPIC.

    Thank you TIGS. Thank you very much.

  15. FISH said about 11 hours later:

    why is everybody wanting to demake shadow of the colossus?

  16. BeamSplashX said about 11 hours later:

    Someone should demake Devil May Cry, since DMC was often credited as being a throwback to old school 2D action games. To see how it holds up AS a 2D action game itself.

    And Cogs of Conflict had better actually be made! I want my swearing in text format!

  17. crackers said about 12 hours later:

    Bummer that the theme isn’t favicons.

  18. Melly said about 14 hours later:

    @ FISH

    Because we love it.

  19. strong414bad said about 17 hours later:

    I may have to make Sneaky Raccoonguy now.

  20. Aik said about 21 hours later:

    A demake of Fallout 3 using FIFE would be incredibly amusing…

  21. underseajuju said 1 day later:

    When I heard “bootleg demakes”, my knee-jerk reaction was to picture an NES Kingdom Hearts with FF1 characters. Probably too involved for a 1-month contest, but no worries – I’m sure some Chinese bootlegger with a heart of gold is working on it right now.

  22. Mentalpatient109 said 1 day later:

    Best. Competition theme. Ever.

  23. ellipsis said 2 days later:

    wtf does “FUCK YEAR” mean?

  24. bateleur said 2 days later:

    wtf does “FUCK YEAR” mean?

    The joke goes something like: “What’s the difference between a tyre and 365 condoms?”

    And then the punchline is: “One’s a good year, the other’s a…”

  25. Melly said 4 days later:

    Derek, you might wanna post the rules here as well since the forums are down.

  26. ellipsis said 4 days later:

    Was just gonna say that, Melly.

    also, bateleur, thanks for explaining that.

  27. thatguy said 4 days later:

    I third that.. please post the rules! I want to see what this is all about (and possibly compete)

  28. TheSpaceMan said 5 days later:

    We did a 48 hour premake back in school once. Trying to remember what game I tried to premake… It’s a bit diffrent but kind of the same. You would take a game that was a first of a series and port it as a previous game in the series being run on older hardware. Can’t remember what game it was, most 48H contests are quite a blur.

  29. Tatsu said 5 days later:

    Alright, I’ve already started mine. This is going to be fun!
