Many of you probably don’t remember text adventure games, let alone the fact that Valve remade one of Sierra’s more obscure interactive fiction titles, Portal, some two decades later as the first-person puzzler everyone knows and loves.

And how many of our readers were owners of the Magnavox Odyssey˛, let alone Electronic Arts’ genre pioneering Left 4 Dead? Valve would also remake this game a quarter of a century later, but not before Electronic Arts had developed a Zapper™ compatible sequel for the NES.
