Remakes are very popular in the game scene as they allow players to enjoy older games with better graphics and, sometimes, improved gameplay. Demakes are exactly the opposite: games that that are based on an actual successful game but scaled down to something simpler in terms of graphics and gameplay. Recently TIGSource launched the Bootleg Demakes competition and no less than 69 independent developers sent their entries. Of course in this life not everybody can win, so here are the top-six demakes of the competition for you gaming enjoyment:
Soundless Mountain II (Silent Hill)
Soundless mountain plays and feels like an old NES game. It has excellent sound and the graphics have been scaled down but works really well on larger displays. In the game your visit the soundless mountain town were you receive a letter from your long dead wife to meet in your special place....creepy.

Gang Garrisson II (Team Fortress 2)
The game is a sidescrolller multiplayer platform shooter(all that yes..). Besides the lack of a whole dimension the game plays exaclty the same with team fortress 2. Since not many people will play this game I suggest that if you want to enjoy it invite a friend to play with you. Very entertaining overall.

Aquarium (Aquaria)
Aquarium is more of a demo than a finished game but a very well made demo nonetheless. it is based on the game Aquaria that won the IGF 2007 competition. In the game, as you have guessed it, you spend your time playing with little underwater creatures. The game is short but the developer promised to finish it (3rd place in the competition is a good enough motive so I believe him).

Little Girl in he Underland (American McGee's Alice)
Hero of the game is a little girl called....Little Girl... that finds her self in the world of capitalism. Your mission is one and one only. Beat the hell out of capitalism. I guess in this times it makes perfect sense. The game is hilarious and you will thoroughly enjoy it.

House globe (Homeworld)
As its big brother the game is a strategy that you have control over your mothership and produce other smaller ships to wage war and gather resources. The game features a single player campaign as well as multiplayer options to ply it with your friends.
download
Fillauth (Fallout)
Fillauth is a demake of the well know post-apocalyptic RPG fallout. The game as its big brother has a very large world that you can roam and take on quests and talk to many NPCs. For a demak,e it has much gameplay depth to keep you on our seat for long. It graphics are its weak spot since they feel, and are, very pixelated to the point that they confuse you. Overall a very nice effort.
