Halo, perhaps the most memorable first person shooter of the last decade, has been brought to the Atari 2600, the most memorable console of the early 1980s.
The frightening thing is... it's actually quite good.

Halo 2600
I thought it was a Flash game, turns out I'm wrong!

Can get this on Nintendo
The original Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System gets everywhere these days, but how about this:
Super Mario Bros... for the Sega Mega Drive!
It's a pretty much perfect port, developed by a bloke going by the name of "Mairtrus". Though it doesn't really do anything fancy with the Mega Drive's hardware, it does have a slightly less bleepy soundtrack. Strangely he's not the first person to make this dream a reality though - Yuji Naka of Sonic the Hedgehog fame wrote a NES MD emulator two decades ago.
But his wasn't released publically, and didn't come with a video.

Doctor Who (Amiga)
Thought I might as well hunt them all down... I mean there's not too many and they're all extremely obscure.
Simply titled Doctor Who, this is another Amiga game that came out in 1992. If you decided to hunt down Dalek Attack after last post, you may notice that this looks a bit better already. Well that's because it is. No need to force a Doctor Who theme out of the Amiga's sound chip - the developers Accursed Toys just ripped it straight from the early 80s era of the programme. Makes sense.
