Porting Remakes

[raindog]

There´s a lot of remakes, free and open, of 8 bits games, like: Pyjamarama, Alien 8, Batman, Head Over Heels, Rick Dangerous, Sir Fred, Jet Pack, etc.

In this page you can found many of this remakes. I don´t know if all has free source code, but i would be great to port some of this great games.

The remake scene tends to be *really* non-portable; people frequently use tools like GameMaker that don't have a viable non-windows implementation. Even when the source code is available you can't port them without a complete rewrite into a standard language.

That said, there are always remakes that can be ported normally.
