Considering the classic remake threads with download links have been on site for a good year now, i'm surprised i ain't posted this earlier, but hey better late than never.

So what's still being worked on and what can we look forward to playing on our pc in 2009?, i'll add more later.

I think some of these will jog more than the odd memory, remember these are in game video of the remade pc versions and obviously not the originals.

Here's a few of those crackers, more to be added soon :-

Myth history in the making (Commodore 64)

Apidya already has a remake posted here :- Classic amiga pd games (remade freeware downloads for pc) (There may be a later version available now though)

Bubba 'n' Stix oh yes a classic i loved that game, no remake of that available yet though.

That fellas a perfectionist and it could take a good while yet, though it will look gorgeous.

Drool!

I suppose it is better to wait a while and get an awesome version, rather then having it rushed ^_^.

They don't make games like this anymore...

Craig.

oh my god, I loved myth. used to play it on my c64 and my cousins amstrad.
Will be playing this when it's ready. cheers for that. I can't seem to see the piccies tho, maybe I'll try again when I get home from work

[Haggler]

Myth has apparently been put on hold for a while, shame but these people have lives too!

There's a great remake of c64 classic warhawk (obviously will be a homebrew game) for the ds being worked on. check it out below.

Some great remakes on this thread.

For those of you who like the look of the "MYTH" remake (seen in the 1st post),
you may be interested to hear that the same guys are now also remaking ARMALYTE.

Interestingly, this will be an "official" remake (the IP owner has given his OK)
and also a commercial release. (ie it'll come in a proper box, with nice artwork)

You can read about it on the official Psytronik blog.
And if you want much more detail, here's my interview about Armalyte PC with the 3 devs.

It won't be ready for quite a while, but I'm hoping when it DOES come out,
they'll finally get back to working on their Stunt Car Racer remake.

[supercarl]

would love Hard Drivin' to be remade!

[supercarl]

Kick Off 2 has to be the most famous remake though ? (don't know how to post links etc)

[Haggler]

Ruff n tumble pixel redrawing, yep everything is getting a makeover, this is positively mystifying the man's a perfectionist and/or a genius.

YouTube - Pixel redrawing (Bat from Ruff n Tumble)YouTube - Swordsman sprite update

[CAS FAN]

Awesome! Loved Myth on the Speccy somay have to dabble with that.

Also Stunt Car racer looks great! I wonder if there's support for the G25 or other wheels? Now that really would be something .

Yay another commodore 64 classic is being worked on and it's a biggie, the last ninja is getting a fanmade remake by non other than retro remake graphics guru smila, can't wait but it may take a good while and while we're on the subject whoever does the music may have lot to live up to (it's one of the best soundtracks of all time) and their hands full.

Thanks for the link, Haggler.

For those of you waiting for the Armalyte remake, I've just finished playing my review copy,
and should have a comprehensive review up in the next week or so. Sneak preview... 'it rocks'!

Latest news: Armalyte PC is coming out in April.

[Haggler]

Soccer WORLD CUP 1986-2010 Series i think we can all SENSIBLY guess where this got it's inspiration!

demo here :- 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download Soccer.World.Cup.1986-2010.Series.DEMO.rar

YouTube - Soccer WORLD CUP 1986-2010 Series Gameplay

If gameplay is slow try playing in fast mode, you can change it in the options menu.
Tip: tap action button to pass and hold id down to shoot, once you shoot you can give some effect to the ball by moving right-left

[Mr_Staypuft]

Ok, as promised..

Armalyte for PC: First online review. (Link)

To try to capture the feel of the new graphics... I've made a few 6-screen panoramas.

*That's a scaled down version... the real ones linked in the article are 2500pixels wide.

I've also linked to the PC demo, if you want to give that a spin.
If you're a Mac user, the SAS team have said they'd consider a Mac port.

[Haggler]

Looks like a lot of progress on the last ninja remake has been made, graphically superb and as most folks here already know along with it's sequel this is my fave c64 game ever, with mr smila and stu at the helm this could end up another cracker!

[Haggler]

Sacred armour of antiriad is getting an enhanced remake courtesy of ovine, not to be confused with the already released remake by them, this could be another cracker.

YouTube - Antiriad-E glimpse

[AVGNJr1985]

There should be a Duke Nukem I and II remake.

[Apsilon]

The Last Ninja

Knight Lore

Myth

Tremendous games. Could do with Rescue on Fractalus and The Eidelon as well
