Every once in a while, I learn of some new DOS game that is an unofficial port or conversion of a non-PC, or specifically non-DOS, usually commercial title. I'm trying to take note of these just for reference, but I suspect that there are many more out there.
Here's what I got so far:
Verbatim conversions or very close clones
- Antarctic Adventure - Antarctic Adventure (MSX)
- Ack Ack Attack - Paratrooper (PC Booter)
- Battlezone Tank Game - Battlezone (Arcade)
- Brix - Puzznic (Arcade)
- CHAMProgramming conversions - several arcade titles
- Classic Jumpman - Jumpman (PC Booter)
- The Great Giant Sisters - The Great Giana Sisters (Commodore 64)
- Jumpman Lives! - Jumpman (PC Booter)
- The Jumpman Project - Jumpman (PC Booter)
- Lords of Midnight PC - Lords of Midnight (ZX Spectrum)
- Lode Runner Live - Lode Runner (Arcade)
- Mario Bros VGA - Mario Bros. (Arcade)
- Ms. Pac PC - Ms. Pac-Man (Arcade)
- Pac PC II - Pac-Man (Arcade)
- PC*Bert - Q*Bert (Arcade)
- Pssst! - Pssst (ZX Spectrum)
- SF2IBM/SFLIU - Street Fighter II (SNES)
- Styx - Styx (PC Booter)
"Enhanced" conversions
- Boulderoid - Boulder Dash (Commodore 64) - optional new tileset & levels
- Chickie Egg - Chuckie Egg (ZX Spectrum) - 3D graphics to showcase the RenderWare engine
- The Continuing Adventures of Cyberbox - fan sequel to Cyberbox (DOS)
- Digger (Boulder Dash clone) - Digger (KC85) - hi-res tiles
- Digger Remastered - Digger (PC Booter) - hi-res tiles
- Flik O Bomb - Bomb Jack (Arcade) - new levels
- Mario & Luigi - Super Mario Bros. (Arcade) - custom graphics
- Pulsoid - Pulsoids (ZX Specrum)
- Rocks'n'Diamonds - Supaplex (Amiga, DOS) - hi-res tiles

Imitations
