Recently I posted a link to a complete re-compilation of Dungeon Master.

Now I've discovered that some other lunatic has re-written Rick Dangerous in Java. Those of you from the Amiga days will recall this game. Yep, lets all go "waaaaaah!" Go, Rick, go!

Not too bad, but one of my Atari buddies re-did the entire game for the PC in only 32k. Every level, sprite and sound effect. Uses DirectX 8 Tiny Lib.

Here's a 32k version of Turrican too:

Aww sweet!

I just hard-wired my old 'The Arcade' joystick into an old keyboard for STeem, I just love that old fashioned clicky sound of decent microswitches - bear in mind that 'The Arcade' has been through half a dozen different systems and has been put through hell over it's 24 years, and it still works!.

I hope you can redefine the keys on those remakes.

Jeesh! - there's some nice looking clones there - although personally I think it'd be strange to play Turrican without that Jochen Hippel soundtrack, it just would'nt be the same. I imagine they all have nice soundtracks though, given it was such a strong feature of the original.

Kinda makes you want to remake something huh.

When the new physics pack is released by TGC, I'm hoping to see some cool remakes of Stunt Car Racer. At the Con Mike showed a demo which would easily form the basis of a SCR game.

I hear ya Philip, I've got a little demo thing working on Newton, and it's pretty tricky, here's hoping TGC's plugin will make vehicles a bit more predictable.
