The Need for Speed Remake (XNA)
An interesting find I happened to stumble upon recently. It turns out that a certain Jeff from New Zealand wrote a remake of the first NFS installment three years ago. As he writes himself, he was motivated not only by unsuccessful attempts to launch the game on Windiws XP, but also by learning a programming language. He wrote his game from scratch in XNA/C#. The work took 6 months, and the result was a game that almost exactly copies the original. In creating it, he used the hundred-year-old specifications by Denis Auroux.
A video on YouTube and screenshots confirm that the game works, although I couldn't launch it (I don't want to install Framework 3.0 on top of 4.0 and others so that no conflicts arise). But you can try it, purely as an experiment.
