I had a revelation the other day that if the current me went back in time and showed the eight-year old me an iPad, it would blow my mind. Unless my current self was showing my past self Game of Watchcraft: Spawn of Squishy, that is, in which case I'd probably just wonder how Clicker managed to get an LCD game so flat. In the present, it's a game that ends up both living and dying by its remarkable devotion to handheld game technology that ruled the 1980s.
The term "demake" may not officially be a part of video game canon—yet—but it's certainly growing in popularity and application. The demake of Plants vs. Zombies for the Sega Genesis that surfaced at PAX Australia was the most recent and bizarre entry in the pseudo-genre, but Game of Watchcraft: Spawn of Squishy officially has it beat.
