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.

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.

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…”

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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…
