The world's best counterfeit games

The fan-made games that put the devs to shame

Super Mario Bros: Revenge Of Bowser

Okay, so the title is about as original as Peach getting kidnapped, but this Mario fan game is one of the best we've ever played. There's a sizeable community of people making their own SMB-themed games these days, but the ambition of the person who created this one (s/he goes simply by the name Hello online) really makes it stand out.

It takes the structure of Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy (central castle hub, stacks of levels inside, multiple tasks in each one to unlock the rest) and transposes it into a full-scale 2D Mario game using the Super Mario All-Stars graphics set. It's kind of a Mario's greatest hits compilation, combining the new games with the enemies and features of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. It even includes the veggie throwing from the western version of SMB 2, making it the fan game for the long-time Nintendo player. Accordingly though, it's also harder than a concrete bastard (Unless our 16-bit skills have floundered in this decadent 3D age), so be ready to mix your joy with a few screams when you first start. Get it here.

And speaking of Bowser...

Black Mesa mod for HL2 indeed looks jaw dropping, better than many games out there (even if it's simply remaking an older game with a new engine), really promising stuff. By the way there's another trailer for it that looks even better.

And goddamn that Chrono Trigger 3D remake looked outstanding, too bad it got cancelled. C'est la vie.

square, so foolish in their age! they already knew that chrono trigger was good enough to resell without much content upgrade...but WTF! Tragedy is the right word.

wat would be pretty cool if they did a whole redone half life game with dlc packs and all.

Why the heck didn't Square wait for those guys to finish and then say, "Sell us the game for $250,000 and we'll forget that we could totally pwn you in court"?

At least that way it would get released, Square would make money, the fans would rejoice and the developers could at least take solace in their hard work not being wasted.

Man I loved Chrono Trigger and I totally agree with baggins although 259k isn't alot a million would have been more than fair

Report

That Chrono Resurrection looked insane. They should have just changed some names of characters and places and told Square where to put their legal team. Especially after even the work it would have taken to make what they had, it kinda sucks that square didn't at least offer them jobs.

I would love to play all of these games, but my computer sucks. However, I must say, one fan game I liked that wasn't on this list was the Pokemon Fire Red Hack that changed the game to be the Generation 2 games. It's pretty redundant with HG/SS coming out soon, but it was still fun.

Chrono Resurrection looks orgasmic (I just finished beating Chrono Trigger again,) I would have loved to play that. The rest of the games look really good too, I am about to start getting them all, with the exception of Sonic. I don't trust any sonic games anymore, fan made or not.

Im both disappointed and angry that Chrono Resurrection never make it. :(

The evil wizards at squareenix just want to milk the classic franchise with more 'ports' and dull remakes.
