8bit Game Remakes: Wizball

Most remakes of old 1980s 8bit games suck, but there are a few exceptionally good ones.

This Wizball remake managed to capture the essence and the spirit of the original C64 version and transitioned it well into the new century. It's hypnotic and psychedelic, and the sound and music (revolutionary back then in the original version) have been carefully updated and are amazing.

I played this a lot a few years ago (or rather, quite a long time ago, certainly before i joined d*), I think I managed to beat it; afair it works on GNU/Linux with WINE.
