Older games you'd love to see an update for.

Spelljammer Game (was a good idea done badly, cant remember its actual name though)

Pirates of Realmspace.

I only play Nintendo systems, so it's hard to think of a particular game. Not because there aren't a lot I'd like to see, but because Nintendo tends to re-release older games on Game Boy systems, usually with some sort of update (though not always, such as with Crystalis).

It'd be nice to see an updated Star Tropics game. The second one didn't quite live up to the first. Ditto Wizards & Warriors.

As an honorable mention, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the fourth Zelda game. It got an update, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, but I'd buy/play any re-release of that. That was the first Zelda with real character development. I still cry at the ending. I recommend this remix to anyone who feels the same.

Wasteland

Isn't that called Fallout and Fallout 2?

I loved X-Com. Boy did that game make you sweat.

MoO 2 could definitely use an update though, Space Empires IV is supposed to be pretty close from what I'm told. MoO 3 had some great ideas, but it was so poorly put together that it was usually easier to just hit the turn button and let the computer run things for you, which kind of defeats the purpose of playing. The 3D space combat was interesting, but didn't actually bother to track the action or scale to show you what was going on. I quit playing the one game I tried after defeating a "guardian" and didn't get anything for it, no new technology not even a good planet for my bother.

Final Fantasy VII with top of the line graphics would be cool as well.

Pirates of Realmspace.

Ultima IV - Best RPG, if not best game, ever! Perhaps the first RPG game to actualy have moral consiquences for your actions (Later Ultimas tried, but the worse case was one or more of the characters would leave your party and you had to chase them down and ask them to join again), and a great plot.

Star Control 2 - Classic game play and story. Star Control 3 was a bit of a miss, Starcontrol 1 was more a wargame.

Railroad Tycoon - Increadably successfull, but even the "Gold" edition remake sucked. Why?

Wing Commander - Serries has always been top noch, but has been abandoned. (I prefered it's gameplay to X-Wing/Tie fighter, but those were good too).

Privateer - There was supposed to be an online version of this that got scrapped

Defender of the Crown - Oddly, it was rumored there either was going to be a more adult verison, or the origional version was a bit more adult and was toned down.

Quest for Glory - The series faught death for QGV, but I thought IV was perhaps the best one.



Pool of Radiance was done already BTW.

And the old computer game, Kings Bounty.

Heroes of Might and Magic

A Sonic sidescroller.

I've seen some sidescrollers with fantastic 3D graphics.

 

[Thanee]

StarCraft (almost 8 years and still the best of its genre) !!!
They Stole a Million
Paradroid
System Shock

Pool of Radiance was done already BTW.

PoR II has no connection with PoR. AFAIK, it's a completely different game.

Bye
Thanee

River City Ransom: Another little-known game that has a small but loyal fan following. This one was a Double Dragon style beat-em-up with RPG elements and an incredibly addictive 2-player cooperative mode.

Oh, HECK yeah. Great game.

Playstation- ... Final Fantasy Tactics.

Well, there was Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

I'd like to see the old Wing Commander games redone. I had the first one, but now it runs at lightning speed, even if I use one of those slowdown programs.

And by the way, these guys have done remakes of King's Quest I and II, and are working on Quest for Glory II.

Edit: Oh, and I want an update for Sinistar. "Beware! I live!" There's a flash version on the web, but it's just not the same.
