Old games you wish were remade / updated

[jamus34]

I'm going to take some flack for this one...

Mail Order Monsters  >:D

Also a good portion of the Epyx catalog: Impossible Mission, Summer Games / Winter Games, Street Sports series...

Oooooh...B-17 the Mighty Eighth...good call Hartford688!

I was depressed for a while when Epyx went out of business. I even had one of their joysticks for my Amiga in the early 90s, it was awesome.

I love their joystick....except for the fact that I'm lefty. Surprisingly though I could still use it somewhat comfortably.

SSI's Kampgruppe and their Napoleon game-- Battles of Napoleon I think. I would buy Red Storm Rising again for sure and I don't think it would be possible to re-make Planescape Torment and do the original justice. It would be like a photogragh of the Mona Lisa. My 2 cents.  :-X

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.

God Yes!

Mighty 8th II: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

[FarAway Sooner]

Ah...  Epyx!  The very first game I ever had for my C-64 was Temple of Apshai, but only because they hadn't released a port for the far superior Hellfire Warrior.

But if I had to pick one title to remake...  Am I the only one on this board that remembers the PC-game adaptation of the FASA board game Renegade: Legion Interceptor? 

The PC remake has the same title, and to this day has one of the best wargamey damage resolution systems for a turn-based fighter game.

Atomic Games/360 Games V for Victory series. Some of the best wargames on the PC.

Rocket Jockey had a ton of things that, I think, would translate well to today: brutal action, rockets, and grappling hooks.  Throw in color / rocket customization, larger arena maps, even more rockabilly music (i.e. Rev. Horton Heat) in the background and couple it with a sizeable online group and just watch the money come flowing in.

Did you just reference The Reverend Horton Heat? I love you.

Enemy Engaged – Comanche vs. Hokum (EECH)

Anguille, yep Spart/GoT, Legion, Chariots of War... I think the most recent version of the basic system is Egypt: Engineering an Empire (riding the coattails of the History Channel show), and for a game based entirely around their combat system Great Battles Medieval (also tied to the History Channel) which became Matrix's  first big hit on mobile devices. They took out the older Real-Time battle resolutions for E:EaE, though, and put in a turn-based tactical.
