2D Flash version of Portal

Back when Portal came out, this great 2D Flash version of Portal was released free-to-play online. It's a lot of fun, and has over 40 great levels of Portal puzzles.

Dark Void Zero

Capcom created a Metroid-style "prequel" to their next-gen game Dark Void, called Dark Void Zero. It is a 2D jetpack shooter, complete with period box art. I haven't tried it yet, but the DSi version has a higher Game Ranking than the next-gen game. It's available on DSi, iPhone and PC.


It's available for PC on Steam ($4.99!) http://store.steampowered.com/app/45730/

It's being released for PSN in August and shortly after for XBLA.

My goal with this blog is to track and find awesome things that people do with modern games or pop culture and present it as a retro style game (playable or not). In the future, I'll try to be more verbose, but I want to kick this off by catching up on some of the awesome things that I have found over the past few years.

First up, this was the April Fool's joke from Capcom, a video of the hit game Bayonetta, reimagined as a 16-bit sidescroller:
