This is a remastered screenshot from the video game Faxanadu a game made for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987. It is about a battle between Elves and Dwarves caused by an evil being that came to the land via a meteor. The entire game takes place inside a gigantic tree. This image depicts the root system of the tree which is dying from lack of water.
There are about 6 people in the entire world that remember this game. But it was one of my favorites. The game has a lot of room for enhancement, but the style overall I always thought was excellent in the original. The music was also one of the best for the NES. (If you're reading this and are musically inclined, please make remixes of this game!)
This scene is modified from the original game and displayed in widescreen instead of 4x3.
This image took a very long time to create (close to 50 hours). In order to squeeze the content into 10 minutes I edited the down in places and speed manipulated various parts. But for the most part it accurately conveys the process.
The music in this piece comes from the 2010 Prince of Persia - Sands of Time movie soundtrack.

I'd be willing to donate a couple hundred dollars to a kickstarter to see this game re-made. Faxanadu is easily one of my favorite games of all time. It would be awesome to see it re-imagined.

The hilarious thing is, with my rose-colored nostalgia glass, this is almost exactly how I remembered the game back in '92. Amazing how one's imagination can fill in the gaps like that.

I always assumed that Faxanadu was so obscure that i'd never see this kind of amazing tribute to it. Finally there's an image of this game that makes it look as rad as it did in my head way back in the day.

This is one talented individual. The best thing about Faxanadu is when you got new armor your character would actually be wearing the new armor unlike other games like Zelda of Castlevania.

All joking aside… I have to say, this is among my top two wanting-to-see-an-actual-remake of a game happen. Hopefully with the guidance of original staff when and where they still exist, maybe they can actually turn out a game that’s worth playing.

I had an idea for a commercial 8K 120fps 2D ONLY game system! I just found these videos and I think it would give you an idea of what it would look like. Making it 2D only would allow it to focus the processing power and also create some really interesting and unique art. I also like the idea of not approving any game for the system that can't be completed in a weekend. Replay and side content excluded of course.

I can't help but wear my heart on my sleeve for these series, but I'd love to see some Megaman or legend of Zelda stuff like this. I think Zelda II would benefit greatly from this style. And It'd be cool to see classic megaman of Megaman X done in this style too.

I'm not completely sure if that applies as much in this case. Most of the stuff he does seems to be complete photo-manipulation. I don't think anyone could tell that Samus was made out of motor-parts unless you saw the vid/you got told/you're the one who made it/you're a magician. The frogs for example are used for texture. Again I'm not too sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.
