Message: [quote author=icemann link=msg=115698 date=1511521140] I love the idea of remaking games in general. Shame the indie remaking scene has all but died. Was quite popular from 2000 - about 2013. Used to be championship contests (over on retroremakes.org) with money prizes. Now companies crack down on it more (eg like with AM2R and Pokemon Uranium last year). You can still get away with it as long as you go with something from a company that doesn't exist anymore + the game rights never went anywhere + name your game something different. They present a good challenge if your into games development, to attempt to try and recreate them programming wise, without any source code to go from, and to only have what you've seen and played yourself to understand from a gameplay perspective how everything works (much like how porting of games to other systems used to be done back in the 80s and 90s by smaller companies). As you get each gameplay element right it all slowly falls into place bit by bit. Really fascinating stuff. I love it. [/quote]
