Re:I don't understand TFA
I agree, I was hoping for a list of quality games. Here's some of my favorites for GBA and DS:
GBA:
- Blast Arena Advance
- Elements Of Darkness
- Clem the Retarded Elf
- Anguna (disclaimer: I wrote this one)
DS:
- Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp
- Twin Isles
- A touch of war
- Video games hero(guitar hero clone)
- AngunaDS (again, disclaimer, I wrote this)
Now I just need to see if I can find my list of quality homebrew NES and Dreamcast games....

Re:Video games based on movies are not fun to play
FWIW, there was an amateur "Retro Remake" done of this classic not too long ago. Updated graphics, sound, with the same core gameplay:

Fortunately, it's one of the better ones on the site. Enjoy. -
Re:Flashback
Flashback was one of the first games I completed fully (most other games I get bored with long before the end). I didn't really pay much attention to the music, but overall the game was awesome.
I'd be cool if someone could do a remake of it for newer generation computers.
I haven't played Another World personally, but a friend showed me the ending, and I have to say it just blew me away. I mean, that's not how it's supposed to end, is it? -
Retro Remakes
Nothing about Retro Remakes's One button contest? There were some really great games there...

What open source can create???
This goes to show what a great game an open source project can create.
As a programmer, I love the open source movement and all it stands for. (in concept as well as utility)
I AM impressed by this particular OS project in that it has made it, where many have fallen.
(IE: DISCLAIMER FOR ALL THOSE ZEALOUS MODS WHO MODE FIRST AND UNDERSTAND POST SECOND!!)
However, I think this quote is a little over the top.
This project is a clone of a closed source project, not created at all. This is retrogaming/cloning, not an innovative project.
Also, as far as "retrogaming" goes, and I am a BIG fan of it ever since I remaked "Taipan" at 14, it is rather vanilla. No graphics upgrade, interface is pretty boring.
Note: http://www.remakes.org - awesome site!
But having said that, they made, so all good to them. I just don't think this is the best OS has to offer or a front page slashdot?
Still, I guess some people might find it +5 interesting... -
Re:Q*Bert clones?
"But, are there any decent win32 clones of Q*Bert? I've been searching for years but still haven't found one."
There are several Q*Bert clones listed on Remakes.org, along with remakes and clones of scores of other games. -
A website index of remakes
The site Retro Remakes catalogs remakes of classic games and games inspired by classic games that you probably never knew about. Most of them are free. Granted, most often it's not the original game company doing a full-blown 3d version of some classic 80's space shooter, but there's enough stuff on the site to keep anyone entertained for hours.

remakes of old games...

Of course, the original remake...
...is Craig Pell's Indenture. Copies can be found around the 'net, but I found one here on RetroRemakes which has similar recreations for other games. Indenture is different from Adventure in that it includes an extended game mode that involves tokens and has some secrets that I'm not sure I've ever seen explained outright, although several people have claimed to have figured it out. Interview with Pell is here.
IIRC, Indenture was written in assembly and it requires a DOS-like system to run. Not sure if it'll work correctly on newer Microsoft systems, like WinXP, but you might get lucky. -
