As with anything requiring a long list, which is handily kept methodically up to date by people, who appear to have far too much spare time on their hands, Wikipedia is a good starting point. At en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_remakes, you’ll find a collection of all the major project remakes out there, including the majority of commercial ones. What you won't find are the smaller, arguably more interesting (if only by dint of being more freely available) freeware ones.

Abandonware site, Abandonia has a sister site, Abandonia Reloaded, which supposedly specializes in remakes, but has increasingly spread out to general freeware too. Either way, you'll find it at www.reloaded.org. To stay up to date with new releases as they happen, your best bets are the indie game blogs, notably www.tigsource.com and www. indiegames.com. In both cases, you'll find prominent remakes listed among the new titles, but the tag system will help you zero in on games of interest. More specialized sites include the Flash collections at www.newgrounds.com/collection/videogameremakes, handheld specific games at handheld.remakes.org, and keeping its eye on the classics, www.classic-retro-games.com .

For more classic games, the Showcase at www.retrorema.kes.com is your friend, whether you're up for some Ant Attack, Alien8, Manic Miner, or... Power Rangers: Dino Thunder?

As ever, if there's a particular game you're desperate to give another spin, Google is still your best friend. You never know what shared interest you might have with some bloke in Norway...
