The Atari 2600 port of Robert Jaeger‘s classic platform adventure, Montezuma’s Revenge, is a cut-down version of the original. It reportedly has half the number of rooms seen in the original Atari 8-bit version. That said: it’s still relatively authentic in its look and feel.

Uridium, ZX Spectrum
Andrew Braybrook‘s classic Commodore 64 shooter, Uridium, was converted to the ZX Spectrum by Dominic Robinson in 1986, and – considering the machine’s limitations – he did a remarkable job.
Mad Max, NES/Famicom
Developed by Gray Matter and published by Mindscape in 1990, Mad Max on the NES is basically a loose re-telling of the story of Mad Max 2 (the film, aka The Road Warrior in North America). The opening crawl in the game is basically the same opening words as the narrator of the film.
Montezuma’s Revenge, Commodore 64
Robert Jaeger‘s classic platform game, Montezuma’s Revenge, was released for the Commodore 64 in 1984, and I believe that Jaeger did the conversion himself, so the game is pretty much identical to the Atari 8-bit original. At least, in terms of presentation.
