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

[Joshua Randall]

If I could have only one game that would magically get updated to run on current hardware, it would be Wing Commander. They wouldn't even have to update the graphics -- the chunky VGA is part of the nostalgia.

Turrican.
Zak mcKraken ATAM.

Not old enough, but I'd like a FF7 remake with PS3 graphics.

I only have a few to add:
- Ultima Underworld - Awesome game... too bad it's a pain in the ass to actually play it nowadays. A graphical update along with a serious reworking of the control scheme would make it 100x better.
- Daggerfall - Same problem as above. I tried to play it, but there's only so many archaic control functions that I can take.
- X-Com - It's a pain in the arse to even install it nowadays. It needs an update.

Master Of Orion 4 (done like Master of Orion 2. 3 is a POS, though that is JMO).

I think that's one of the general reactions, though. I wanted, so so so so SO wanted to like it. I was thrilled that I could build big fleets of warships and fling missile salvos across the board. Then I realized that it really was a chore going through the motions of empire and the sense of wonder about what a new system would contain had vanished without a trace. And then I wondered how someone could threaten me, cringingly. And how to send a research vessel out after one of the fabled "X"s, when AFAICT it just would send random unassigned ships, taking valuable ships of the line and escorts rather than the kickass recon vessels I'd designed. Ugh.

So, yes, a good sequel to MOO 2 would be in order.

And a new X-Com. I throughly enjoyed the original X-Com. I've never played anything as nail-biting as a night landing site assault in the jungle.

I'd like a PS/2 version of Final Fantasy Tactics, or something of that nature.

Hmmm, most of the games which initially popped in my head have already been mentioned:

FFVII [best FF game, IMO and if they could create a cool sequal that would be sweet].

FF Tactics. Advance was just...not that great. Had a couple of neat ideas, but nowhere in comparison to the first.

Planescape: Torment. Awesome. Nothing else need be said.

Shadowrun for the SNES. That game was sweet. I loved that game.

Oh and of course these games should all be for the computer cause I don't have any console that the games might be made for.

Just like every one else X-com tops my list. I would also like to see
Wing Commander any and all of them
X-wing & Tie Fighter favorites as well
also take back the Pool of Radiance that came out a few years ago and do it right

ABBA

Huh?

...

 

[TheYeti1775]

Huh?

...

On the NES ABBA was the code to get more lives.
If you were playing two player it would steal a life from the other player.

X:Com is downloadable now. I'll have to check at home for the website, but it installed easy enough on Win XP the way they have it packaged. Still play it regularly over the past few years.

Turrican (there was talk bout a console port some years ago but it never saw the light)
Elite/Frontier
Rick Dangerous
Lemmings
Chaos Engine
Dungeon Master

Long live the A
