Old games you wish were remade / updated

[Cyrano]

As I read all the way through this list I couldn't help but wondering how many of you were pounding on your keyboards/monitors and screaming "damn you machine, make me feel young again.  Make me feel as I did THAT DAY!"

Trying to imagine a publisher even considering a reboot of M1 or Stealth Fighter as they were.  The simmers would holler holy hell and the shooter-boyz would turn away very quickly, especially with the latter.

"System Shock" would be met with howls of:  what, no MP?!!

AoR and my beloved BoN, hah...

With the world gone console, I feel blessed to have what we do:  CMx2, JTS, On Target, Civ, and then the occasional cross-over that doesn't make me want to hurt myself.

A few that have been passed over do surprise me, though.  Mail Order Monsters could be translated into a graphic-rich experience that I think would be a lot of fun.  Even if my memories are of playing it with an Atari 2600 joystick.

Amen brother....a big +1.

That's kinda why I put the caveat that for some of those games the ship has sailed so to speak.

For me though UI and a general fun factor will trump graphics every time. Look at my steam playlist... There's a lot of non graphically intense games on there and up high in playtime

I think M.U.L.E. has been given a recent remake somewhere, pretty sure on Steam, but I can't recall the new title...

[Sir Slash]

Any game that would make me feel young again I'd buy in an instance!  :D

[JasonPratt]

Hmm, not what I was thinking of, but still: http://www.mulereturns.com/ for iOS and Android.

I'm probably thinking of either Offworld Trading Company (which features MULEs but probably isn't really the same game), or SpaceHORSE by Shrapnel.

[Slick Wilhelm]

I'd like to see hi-res versions of Uncommon Valor and Forge of Freedom.

But my favorite for modernization would be Great Naval Battles 2:Guadalcanal

Has anyone said Age of Rifles? :)

Yes. O0

Are you sure we haven't mentioned Age of Rifles?

Oh wait, I mentioned it too. 

May I mention it again?  Can it be like one of things magical things you can speak into existence if you believe hard enough?

Monopoly is from the 1930's, that would put you in your early 20's.

It is entirely possible that I was triggered by this conversation.

I think that's what triggered means:

Three words: Emperor. Fading. Suns.  :D

[SirAndrewD]

I just remembered how much fun I had with Task Force 1942. 

I'd like to see another Task Force 1942.

Somebody finish or remake Guardians Agents of Justice the never finished Microprose superhero game based on xcom.

[Warhorse]

Star General, loved that game, I can get it to run sometimes, but back in the day I spent a lot of time on this game, thought it was way cool.
