    * Reverse Retro - Create a retro edition of a modern game.   So rather than take an old retro game and make it 3D (how creative), take a modern game and create version of it for the 8/16bit age.

   There's lot of modernizing old games, but I can't recall seeing the reverse.

Those "Ocarina of Time 2D" "Metroid Prime 2D" and such fan projects would be an example of such? Though, i'm not sure i've seen a finished example of any of those... oh wait, someone did make a Smash Brothers: NES :D

kevin

 Never seen those.

What about Guitar Hero For the C64 :)

 Suggested Themes So far


   * Beat'em up game

   * Kart Racer

   * RPG

   * Gravity

   * Physics games

   * Bullet hell (shoot'em up)

   * Reverse Retro - Create a retro edition of a modern game.   So rather than take an old retro game and make it 3D (how creative), take a modern game and create version of it for the 8/16bit age.

   * No Media contest (game must create gfx content with procedural creation)

   *  Team AI challenge.   (Team sports eg.  soccer/basketball/ cricket/baseball)

   * Puzzlers

Does "Beat em up game" just mean Street Fighter style, or would Double Dragon type gameplay be covered too?
