Retro Remakes Competition

JIG’s flashy game competition. Are you guys excited about playing flash games all day long? So many competitions to write about…

But let’s begin with the Retro Remakes Competition, a contest consisting of entrants mostly in their 30s (and serious enough to code until the end). I mean, look at the list of entries. I’ll attempt to play every single entry but there’s no possible way for me to write about all of them. No, sir. 150 games! Madness, these old fogies.

Perhaps I’ll talk about one, since I’m in the mood to mention some shmups today. Just a sampler of the flood of games to come. A remake featuring Vic Viper, yes…

Well, there’s no demo yet so we just have to be content with gawking at the limited screenshots. Looking pretty faithful, I must say. And if you’re thinking that it’s just another Gradius remake, note that it’s done by the guys from Ovine by Design – master of remakes. I suppose we can expect reasonable quality from them. Plus that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
