Unofficial ports are a hard line to draw. I saw Alter Ego on the NES which is a port of a ZX Spectrum game which felt fresh and substantially different thanks to having music and better graphics. Then again, there are ton of Tetris/Columns clones out there which are undoubtedly good because of the source material, but hard to really justify playing it over the originals IMO. But I'll admit if there was a Tetris Grandmaster unofficially ported to NES I'd be all over it instead of Nintendo's or Tengen's.

I keep harping on NES because it has a special place in my heart, but I'll update the post to include the crowd: Sega Master System, Genesis/Megadrive, Turbo Grafx 16 / PC Engine (HU and CD), GB/GBC/GBA/DS, SNES, N64, Playstation. Also equipped with Commodore 64, a 486-class PC, and the Altair 8800 clone, but at that point since they're computers developing on them isn't as much as a mission as it is on consoles so I don't consider them "homebrew" per se but any modern recommendations for retro platforms would be pretty sweet!
