A video demonstrates playing Left 4 Dead and Crysis on a cell phone using OTOY, a video streaming technology similar to OnLive. Details about the video is provided by this article by TechCrunch. Breathtaking tech if it can reach the market.

One game at Funspot that I never saw before was Donkey Kong II. From my limited searching, looks like this is a homebrew hack of Donkey Kong done a few years back. Just need to swap out a chip or two to convert a vanilla DK machine into a DKII machine. Took me awhile, but I finally found the roms and an emulator so you can play the game at home. I managed to watch the tail end of the record DK2 game, 380+k points. Other records that were broke at Funspot XI can be found in this thread.

A quick demo of hooking up an Atari 800 to a PC (netbook in this case). Also shows the game Castle Crisis, which is a Warlords remake. We’ll have to give that a try some day.

Some of the Penny Arcade folk redid Adventure into a 16-bit like game. An original score is added, along with some handy front-end menus. Available for download. Judging by the vids, looks really well done.
