20 Retro ‘Demakes’ That Totally Transform Your Favourite Video Games

10. Vanquish (Arcade)

Another absolute gem from Jnkboy is this arcadey demake of Vanquish. Not sure quite how the perspective in this game would work; do you just run from side to side blasting enemies that come at you in a kind of fake-3D Space Invaders style? Or is it more that you're running into the screen like those special levels in Contra?

Either way, I want to play it. I want to play it even more than the PS3/X360 verison, which was good, but very metallic and grey-looking compared to this 16-bit beauty.
