Dark Souls 3 Party Steamrolls Everything With Armor Of Thorns

Blizzard’s shooter isn’t even out, yet some folks already found ways to play the game absolutely unintended ways.

The Zelda CD-i Games, Remade In 3D
The HD remakes no one ever asked for. Back in the 90s, not every Legend of Zelda game was made by Nintendo: The games for the Philips CD-i, for example, were developed by others and, well, they were a bit disappointing The world should forget that Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand…

Tetris, Running On A Tiny LCD
Besides Doom, Tetris is one game that gets all kinds of silly ports all the time. Enthusiast Numeric compressed the game into a 10×16 frame and made it work on a very tiny character display.

The folks over at Rocket Jump gave some further thought to Superhot’s unique mechanics, where the game only progresses when the player moves, and how that’d work in real life. Things get a bit more complicated when you fight something other than the faceless red enemies from the game, and there’s a world out there…
