What dead game would you resurrect?

[Reynard]

With either a new edition or just continuation of the line.

For me: revivify Alternity, including Star*Drive, with only minor errata, and move forward with new settings.

I just want a new Birthright setting of D&D.

Toon. I think in today's RPG market, where people are used to games other than power fantasies, it could really be a big hit, especially with more modern light mechanics.

The same!

I wouldn't be upset if the FASERIP version of Marvel Superheroes came back to life.

So many games are still alive, alive I tell you!

What fills the gamer graveyard is licensed properties. Along with TSR Marvel I would love to see FASA Star Trek return, and not just for nostalgia reasons.

As long as people play them they’re still alive.

D&D 4E with some reworking. B/X D&D. TSR Marvel Super Heroes, aka FASERIP. TSR Top Secret. WEG Star Wars. Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. WFRP 2E. Over the Edge 3E. Shock: Social Science Fiction. Changeling: The Dreaming 20AE. Doctor Who RPG.

Some of these are long gone. Others are just sleeping.

I think most games that I'd like to revive would claim that they are not dead yet

Modernized retro versions of some well known media- and gaming franchises aside, I think I'll nominate Ars Magica. As far as I know the 5th edition is officially declared complete. What I would like to see is a new version that is more compact than the existing one, especially trimming the fat of the advantage/disadvantage system. Also, I wouldn't mind some adventure/campaign content for it

Seconded! In particular, a set of tribunal books that are all the same edition.
