Also the last ninja (C64), although I heard rumours that this was being made.

Two of the best games eve rmade, right there.
I heard a new last ninja game IS in development, saw a few screens last year, but havent heard anything since.
And theres a game coming out on the GC called Thornado, which is supposed to a kinda spiritual sequel to Turrican. Whatever that means.

Speedball 2. Exactly like the Amiga classic only with support for online play. Imagine taking place in a Speedball league against eight (seven, I don't know how many) human opponents with the ability to trade players and get promoted or relegated!

That'd be class I reckon. Perhaps that's what Speedball Arena will be like though looking at the Bitmap's site this project may have been abandoned.

I think it's a great suggestion to remake the original Super Mario Brothers but I'm not sure how the fast action would translate into a 3d environment.

On the subject of sequels I'd love to see Shadowrun II or a proper follow up (not an expansion set) to Bluebyte's Incubation.

some good ideas there, especially would like revamped XCOM/UFO - imagine multiplayer? coop missions or fight against a rival group of agents

However, I'll have to put forward Master of Magic (microprose). Gimme that all brought up to date with Multiplayer support built in!

Anyone remember Gods, by the Bitmap Brothers? Was out on PC and Mega Drive yonks ago.

Bloody brilliant game, would keep it as a 2D platformer, but would love to see a graphical overhaul and CD-quality sound.

*drools*

Ah Gods. What a glorious piece of platforming puzzlery that was. And so gorgeous I could cry.

Into.... the wonderful.

But I dunno about bring it into the 21st century. Graphically it'd couldn't really be improved much other than putting on some faux 3d background stuff. Some new levels would be nice though.

Speedball came out on the playstation there a while ago and tbh it didn't gain much from being in 3d. Yeah you had a slightly different ways of view the game but all from above. To my mind they just put in the 3d so it could be sold on the ps1, which isn't a bad idea in itself as a lot of ps1 owners wouldn't have had an Amiga, but didn't really appeal to me. I was and still am a big fan of the Bitmap brothers artwork.

A lot of good pre 95 games would have been created in 2d and when they make the transition to 3d it often becomes a different game entirely.

Duke Nukem 3d has very little it common with it's 2d ancestor for example. The only one that I can think of that plays very similarly is the GTA series which made the transition wonderfully.

Turrican. Done in the style of Metroid Prime, but with more focus on the combat. Mmmm.

I recently found an old favourite of mine when cleaning my room: Pirates! on the Amiga/PC. Fantastic, you sail around, shoot at boats, swashbuckle a bit, invade the odd town, and go looking for treasure. Very very simple, but ridiculously fun. It'd be great with updated sound and visuals (I think it has about 16 colours maximum...)

That is being remade! It was in the last issue of PC Zone that Sid Meier was going to do a remake ...

I just remembered the terminator fps games on the PC that were set in the future. They were great. I think they were called Terminator Future Shock and Skynet. It would be great to see a similar terminator game that lays just as good. Probably won't happen since some crap company will snap up the license and make a bog standard one.

Retro: Check out this month's PC Format. There is a feature on a new Terminator game coming out on the PC. Looks pretty good.....

Any idea what team is behind it? It better not be 'the kings of bog standard', Raven.

I would love to see Body Harvest from N64 remade sorta, well not remade but the teenie flaws fixed and then get a massive release so everyone can see how possibly the best 3rd person shooter ever was so hideously overlooked.

This game beats the poo out of Halo and any other game in that vein but it did have some control issues and the main guy had a really bad dislike of water but other than that it was superb shooting shooting and the odd puzzle thrown in but with timebased attacks by the aliens and no mid game save it made for some frantic gameplay.

Oh lets not forget the planes ,boats,cars,bikes,tanks and fire engines that you could drive.

Rockstar made it and a remake would be superb.

i know they're doing an online sequel for the ps2 but tbh, i'd be happy if it was the same game with next gen graphics & some extra tracks.

gta1 with vice city's engine would be class:)

I bet you actually went out and bought every EA Sports title ever made too....

Hate to sound so boring, but Frontier: Elite re-made right just appeals so much. Plenty of people have tried and made decent games (freelancer recently, wing-commander privateer, x-beyond the frontier, even jumpgate to an extent)

2 comments: X sucked.

I-War2 is about as close to Frontier as I've gotten so far (haven't played Freelancer yet, don't trust DX9 atm)

You have made me a very happy peon, Lordy!:)

they're just 2 games that i'd love to play through again with shiny new engines...
you comparing either game to ea's output is fairly insulting tbh.

its easy to imagine them screwing up dd arenas by putting too much emphasis on online play. dd raw is one of my favourite racing games, rehashing that would be no bad thing.

i wouldn't actually pay for vice city's engine with gta1's maps, i was thinking more along the lines of a free mod...

Exactly what I was going to stay. A Morrowind style version of The Lords of Midnight would be the best thing ever.

What game would you like to see remade?
