#151 - The New-Retro Challenge 2

We did this before, way back in March 2006, for WW #42. Let's do it again!


The Challenge

Take any modern day game, and recreate it in a super retro style!

The Time

Wed 14th May -> 21th May, 2008
You have until this timer hits zero to complete your entry. For the record, that's Tue/Wed, midnight GMT.

The Rules

You're free to reuse functions here and there, if it helps speed up your dev-time. Old art and audio, are pretty much expected, since we don't all have time to create fully working masterpieces within the space of a week!

Other than that, the main coding for each week's task should be pretty much created within the time allocated.

If you use other people's art/sound/functions, give credit where credit's due. (This counts doubley, this week. Give the original game some credits, too!)
To enter, post your game below. If you can't find anywhere decent to host it, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com

Additional rules are available here.

Last Week

Last week, only 1 entry!

 		This sounds neat.

Now that my AP classes are done, I might have to have a go.

 		That was a clever game.
It sort of reminded me of the old atari game system.
I never owned one but there was some game that was like this

A nice Job.

 		Yeah, it's meant to be like Pitfall!
I had it in my mind that I absolutely had to keep it as unlike "Platdude in a Lara costume" as I could.. even though she does look a little alike!

So, I nicked Pitfall instead

 		Well, I was going to be posting a bigger version of it, but I spent all day playing DS games, and Lostwinds on the Wii.
(D'oh!)
So, I'll keep that for a showcase, instead.

 		I made a simple game intro screen from my abandoned "scarface" text-based management game.
