Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The polar opposite of a Video Game Remake. While a remake strives to offer an updated version of the game, both from a technical and a gameplay standpoint, a demake is purposefully built as an interpretation of how the game may have been, were it conceived and produced during a previous hardware or software generation. This means simpler graphics and sound, and simplified gameplay although the basics are mostly kept, often translated from 3D to 2D. It is often a Self-Imposed Challenge for the creators, who try to work with as few resources as programmers had back in the old days - some even program the demakes on the original old hardware, to produce newer games with a Nostalgia Filter. It's also interesting to try seeing if newer mechanics can work in less technically advanced games. Due to their nature of being based on copyrighted material, demakes are usually fan-made and freeware. This hasn’t saved a few from getting Cease & Desist letters. There are also the Chinese bootleg NES ports, often very bad. The rise of Retro Gaming, however, has made some official productions appear. Beside real and playable games, there are artists who have fun creating mock-up pictures of demade games, often taking the original resolution and palette limitations of old gaming machines into account.

Super Sanctum TD, a top-down pixel art adaptation of Sanctum released a few weeks in advance of Sanctum 2. It doesn't replicate the FPS elements that make the actual Sanctum games stand out in the Tower Defense genre, it incorporates most of the enemies and towers from them into a perfectly playable conventional TD game. | |

Codename Gordon, a Flash platformer made to resemble the first phases of Half-Life 2, back when the latter was still in production — in fact, some of those sections were removed in the final product. It's also a humorous take on the game — faithful to his Silent Protagonist role, Gordon Freeman has only emoticons to use in dialogues, and characters tell him the world has lost a dimension. Originally a fangame, it impressed Valve so much they used it as an official promotional product. The official site is defunct but the game is still among Steam's free games. There's also Half-Life 2D, but it's quite a lousy game. |

The runner-up, Sulkeis, deserved its place because it's not just a lower-tech Seiklus: while shorter and less varied, it's got completely new levels and situations that weren't present in the original (like the water streams erupting after one of the treasures is found). | |

A group of Japanese fans is working on a Final Fantasy VII NES-like demake to put the Chinese bootleg to shame. Some footage has circulated and already shows a much better look – the sprites are redrawn or at least well-edited, for a start, and seems to have implemented most of the mechanics, like Materia. Unfortunately, it may never see the light of the day due to Squenix putting an eye on it. Crossing fingers that it manages to reach completion and a translation (hey, someone translated even the Chinese bootleg!). There's also a complex Final Fantasy I NES hack project in progress. |

Grand Theftendo deserves a special mention. The project started in the early 2000s as a reproduction of a good chunk of Grand Theft Auto III on the NES, and it looked to be really impressive for the system. Then the author decided to expand the project and moved on to Retro City Rampage. However, he showed Grand Theftendo to the public in March 2011. Retro City Rampage got its own demake: Retro City Rampage 486, a port of the game actually made for vintage 486 (or even a 386 with a math co-processor) computers running MS-DOS. It's released on a 3.5" floppy and even supports Gravis gamepads. |

Interestingly, it is also based on a little-known home computer game with the same name, dating back to circa 1983, which already tried to translate the gameplay with one less dimension.

Sewer Shark is an infamous FMV game. The demake by Park Productions turns it into a vertical scrolling shooter, nothing exceptional but certainly more playable than the original. In a nice touch, you can choose to have it look like it's a Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, or Amstrad CPC game. | |

From DeviantArt user Badassbill: Children of Mana on the C64, Luigi's Mansion on the GBA and crossed with Symphony of the Night, Ocarina of Time in the style of The Minish Cap, and BioShock looking too good for 1986. | |

Capcom also produced Dark Void Zero. While not technically the same game but a prequel, it brings the action and flight mechanics in pixelated 2D. Many people found it more interesting than the main game. | |

Final Fantasy X, an NES-like demake (headphones warning) that barely qualifies, given that it only has three themes, two maps, and no battles or interaction. It might PC executable given how the Chinese(?) text is rendered as glitched ASCII. | |

Game Jolt's 2010 demake competition was interesting since it was focused solely on indie games – which are often retro-styled already. The winner, Warning Foregone, is a simplified Warning Forever that's still quite fun. The competition version was later updated with more features and can be played on Newgrounds. The runner-up, Sulkeis, deserved its place because it's not just a lower-tech Seiklus: while shorter and less varied, it's got completely new levels and situations that weren't present in the original (like the water streams erupting after one of the treasures is found). Among the other games an honorable mention goes to Plants vs. Zombies Retro, a nice rendition of how the game could have been if it was published in 1986, even if it's a limited Endless Game. |

Tyrian 2000 was going to have a Game Boy port, fully compatible with Game Boy Color and Super Game Boy (as in: able to give distinct colors to everything), but got cancelled near completion as the developers got interested in the Game Boy Advance and started porting Tyrian to it, only to hit a dead end and give up. Years later, a developer of Tyrian published the ROM for download on his very site, along with the last release of the actual game. The GBA port is not even 20% complete, thus being very glitchy and having bad graphics, but the Game Boy Color/Classic one is pretty much complete, including randomly unlocking encyclopedia entries! Both ports and the original PC game can be found here. | |

The first two XCOM games (UFO: Enemy Unknown) had unofficial Russian ZX Spectrum versions by Vyacheslav "Copper Feet" Mednonogov. Each fit a single TR-DOS floppy. UFO: Enemy Unknown, 1995. Featured real-time battles with a single operative. UFO 2: Devils of Abyss, 1996. Had turn-based squad combat, like its inspiration. More recently, OpenXCOM hosted a mod ("XenoOPs") for UFO Defense which made it look and play like Fireaxis XCOM. |

Edmund McMillen, creator of Super Meat Boy, asked some fellow indie developers to draw title screens for warp zones, with the basic idea "if Super Meat Boy was your game". Among them Terry Cavanagh, who had so much fun he decided to throw in a little game out of it, looking a lot like his own VVVVVV. You can try it here. | |
