Games reimagined for old hardware

Gamesradar has had a feature running this past week where they've reimagined recent games for old hardware. It's just how the title screens may have looked, and what the game may have been called in keeping with the times, but still pretty cool.

Here's the link to the page with the vid showing the whole five games

http://www.gamesradar.com/video-bioshock-1994-pc-game/

They do god of war as a c64 game, uncharted for gameboy, gears of war for megadrive, ratchet and clank for Saturn and finally bioshock as a circa 94 PC game.

I found it amusing and while they've now posted all the vids together, thought I'd share.

My favorite is the c64 reimagining of god of war (or Kratos, the angry Spartan as it will forever be known to me from now)
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

Ratchet and shitty Clank don't belong near a console as awesome as the Saturn. :fist: They would have been laughed off the platform for their meandering to the mainstream.

Gears is such a Mega Drive game though. Very true.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed by that one, or bioshock. But "I will have my revenge" in shitty 8bit sampled glory was worth the price of admission, surely you agree.
