physics games

    * Reverse Retro - Create a retro edition of a modern game.   So rather than take an old retro game and make it 3D (how creative), take a modern game and create version of it for the 8/16bit age.

Those "Ocarina of Time 2D" "Metroid Prime 2D" and such fan projects would be an example of such? Though, i'm not sure i've seen a finished example of any of those... oh wait, someone did make a Smash Brothers: NES :D

[kevin]

 Never seen those.

What about Guitar Hero For the C64 :)

[monkeybot]

   * RPG

   * Gravity

   * Physics games

   * Bullet hell (shoot'em up)

   * Reverse Retro - Create a retro edition of a modern game.   So rather than take an old retro game and make it 3D (how creative), take a modern game and create version of it for the 8/16bit age.

[monkeybot]

yeah that would be fun but its just that the GFX are such a hastle

Does "Beat em up game" just mean Street Fighter style, or would Double Dragon type gameplay be covered too?
