My favorite handheld port is this fan-made port of Tomb Raider to GBA. It's not even a demake, just a really optimized re-implementation of the engine. ▶ this video
You can get a measure of the performance from doom2 on an a4000 link 12mhz arm2 on a vga monitor (so slower fps than composite). Some other impressive feats are tomb raider and quake on the GBA (16mhz arm7tdmi), halflife on the Falcon, and Dread on the St and Amiga. ▶ this video link link link
I found some fascinating coverage of the OpenLara project, specifically for the port of Tomb Raider to the GBA. ▶ this video
