Fangames are typically games, made by fans, featuring popular video game characters. Most often the gameplay style of the games in question is as close to the original as possible, but often times have interesting twists or are different altogether. For instance, Sonic the Hedgehog has an incredibly large fangaming base (possibly the largest of all game series, with other popular series like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Mega Man following closely). Most of the games featuring him try to emulate the classic Sonic formula like Sonic Time Attacked or Sonic Robo Blast 2, but others, like Sonic Brick, do something different entirely (in this case, a Breakout clone). This holds true for all series that there are fangames for.
Some companies (Nintendo in particular) go out of their way to shut down fangames, declaring them illegal.
