Half-Life: Fan creates Demake for Game Boy

Half-Life Demake

Game demakes are a fun thing to do and show how creative the community is. Jackarte is also one of the developers who want to demonstrate what a game looks like on an older system. For this he has decided to use Half-Life.

Half-Life on the Game Boy? This is what it looks like

With a 15-minute video you can see his version of Half-Life (buy now € 52.95) for the Nintendo Game Boy. The game is played in a 3D environment, but the enemies are 2D sprites. The graphics are not particularly detailed, which would not have been possible anyway due to the green look. The 8-bit sound underlines the retro atmosphere. Jackarte published a video of his demake at the end of January, but it had to do without the typical green color of Nintendo's handheld. The new video looks more authentic.

You interact with "E" with objects and the environment, with "R" you reload and with the keys 1 to 5 you select your weapons. The download is 36 MB. Jackarte explains about his project: "The idea came from my passion for games and to develop a new game, but with graphics, sound and mechanics from earlier times. So I asked myself how about Half-Life on the Game Boy? hope you like it. "

It is not clear whether Jackarte will continue with the project and implement the entire game Half-Life as Demake. Half-Life developer Valve certainly has a say in this.
