GamesTM – The Demake Factor

The latest issue of the British gaming magazine GamesTM (issue 135) features a great article titled “The Demake Factor,” diving into the world of “demakes”—modern games remade for old-school platforms.

The author reached out to me to contribute, so you’ll find a few of my thoughts scattered throughout the piece. Even cooler, they included a list of the six best demakes currently available, and Ridiculous Reality actually made the cut! 🙂

The list also features the well-known Mighty Jill Off for the Atari, as well as the famous C64anabalt for the Commodore 64—which I actually got to play a year ago at the Forever XIII party.

Here are some (admittedly low-quality) scans of the article pages:


Featured Demakes:

  • Ridiculous Reality (Atari)

  • Mighty Jill Off (Atari)

  • C64anabalt (C64)

  • …and 3 others in the top 6 list!

Did you get a chance to check out that issue, or have you played any of the other demakes mentioned in the top 6?
