While this thread asked for the best remakes people knew, a better-controlled listing of remakes is in order.

When posting, please add at least these bits of information:

1. Name of the original game, and the name of the remake
2. Website of the game (and possible other sites to download the game from)
3. Operating system (DOS, XP, Linux..)


Optionally, you may add also these things to make your entry more interesting for others:

4. A screen shot (or several) of the game. Thumbnail size will do just fine.
5. Your personal opinion of the game


- Commercial games are accepted (but do not post a download link if the game is not abandonware).
- Please do not post games have not been released for public in any form and are still under development (as many projects never finish).


Here's an example:

A fairly decent remake of the old beat-em-up classic. The controls are a bit clumsy, and the music is different from the original, but it still manages to entertain.

A remake of legendary Star Control 2, works perfect under windows XP, support for higher resolution and there's not really much more that needed to be changed anyway.

Runs in XP, not Vista.
Excellent remake, runs flawless in XPsp2 in 1024x768, SFX and music through my onboard AC97.
Listed as 'portable' but works flawless from HD.
BTW: read the readme ;)

If you liked SystemShock, you're gonna love this remake, really.
