You're welcome. I wish somebody would do an update for Alea Jacta Est. Maybe improved graphics and some new Regional Decisions. Along with hot, naked dancing girls.  :timeout:

Sword of Argon.

Isn't that like a light sabre?  Sorry chap, but some typos make me chuckle...

On topic:  Fields of Glory?

Actually (though perhaps this should be a separate thread) I think we have to define the parameters of re-making and updating.  For instance, two games that I played a lot of in the beginning of my PC gaming are Sim City 2000 and Doom.  Both have modern iterations with better graphics, better controls, etc, and essentially similar gameplay but I'm not really sold on them. They're the same but different - the improvements have changed the nature of the game.

So, for instance, what would a remade/updated "B17" look like?  TIR support?  Clickable pits? MP?  Things I think a lot of players would desire, but would it then become a whole new game?

Red Baron (3d) with all the dynamic campaigning.

Front Page Sports Football in the 95/96 configuration with some updated 3d graphics. No other game had the depth of those titles.

I would give anything for an updated or new Red Baron.

Lords of the Realm (II) and Stronghold, the only two games I every played with interesting siege battles.

Yes! To LotR II. FANTASTIC game.

The game holds up well enough.  I played some a few months back.  It's one of the few gog purchases I've made.

I second both of those.
