Some of the more popular used p.c games are getting really expensive. Sure, still not the price of a new 360 game.....

Anyway, for what you get, (which is usually only the disks) chasing some of the older games with SS2 and other's is getting too rich for my blood.

Games that need to be re released on either cd or steam (or download system of choice)

1 System shock 2. You just released bioshock, now's the time for a 3 for one shock deal or something.

2 The Jedi knight series, i've been playing the demo's and they are awesome

3 Lucas arts adventure games. Yes people still want to play them. Yes your losing money because of people pirating them because they still want to play them...

Ok your turn. What game needs to be released and now!

From what I've read, the System Shock franchise is owned by EA now, not Irrational Games, so there's no chance of a Shock bundle.

The Dig - The click adventure that had it all: a great story, setting, characters and a fantastic musical score.

I'd love to get my hands on some of lucas art's adventure games. Monkey Island, or Grim Fandango. People say they're great yet haven't ever had the chance to play them.

Amen to that.They also need to make a follow up for MDK, and apparently one is one the horizon possibly.  My guess is this means a remake/ relaunch of the first.  A downloadable Alice would be nice too, I can't find that game anywhere.

Playboy the Mansion

Except now call it "Buy me, I'm based on a mature magazine. We don't know if it's 18+, but, hell, ESRB just wants their money, right? We'll give 'em a free one year subscription to our mag, and have them give it an Early Childhood rating. Hear that parents? You got @$^@&@, haha. And, y'know... Buy my sequel and stuff."

That should be the title. But they should hide all the underlined parts behind christmas wrapping.

System Shock 1 and 2.

A complete Bullfrog collection.

Speedball 2. (This does actually have a rerelease in UK on the crucial entertainment line, but North America and the rest deserves it too.)

A boxed version of Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines.

Exhumed. It's a very little-known FPS/puzzler with a cool Egyptian/aliens theme. I have the original W95 version, but I can't get it to work. Would love an XP compatible version.

Knights of the Old Republic. Not exactly old, I know, but it's a pain to find cheaply. Games that old should be readily available and cheap!

Flashback. Another World (also known as Out of This World in USA, I think) recently got a re-release. Which is awesome, but Flashback is the better game, I'd say.

A complete Monkey Island collection.

A complete Dizzy collection.

I'd also love to see a re-release of the first person Psygnosis adventure game Sentient. Actually, a remake. With voice acting and modern visuals. But I'd take a re-release. It's one of the best adventure games I've ever played.

Warcraft 2

C&C Red Alert (like the original one)

Duke 3D

Blood

Shadow Warrior

BlakeStone

And the rest of the old classic FPS games.

I don't know how well they'd all go being remade. Dune2 was remade (Dune 2000) and it didn't do to well. The game was exactly the same, just updated graphics and a few other features RTS games had brouht out at the time. (like selecting multiple units at a time).

Falout 1/2 - So that everyone can these to awesome gamesnaval

These were all re-released earlier this year (or was it last year?), except for Monkey Island 1,2 and 4.

Then again, the re-releases might have only been exclusive to Australia - but I can easily walk down to the shops tomorrow and buy Fallout 1, 2, Grim Fandango, The Dig, etc, all for under $10 each.

4D Boxing, Wolf, X-Com UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown, Police Quest 1-3 and Full Throttle. I'd gladly pay $5-$10 for each of these if they were attached to my steam account for 24/7 access. $5 if they were simply thrown on there, $10 if they included updates to make them XP/Vista compatible so nobody would have to worry about DOSbox ect.

wolf, huh? that's the first time i've seen that game mentioned here on the forum. ever play the sequel, lion (or was it some other animal)? i've never played either, but i'd be willing to try it for $5. i love the other games you mentioend, especially 4d boxing and x-com. it's weird how steam has x-com: terror from the deep but not the original. i remember terror from the deep being incredibly difficult near the end, but the original was just right in level of difficulty.

Syndicate and Syndicate Wars!

And a complete Monkey Island collection would be amazing!
My wish is that LucasArts will make them all available on Steam.

Rocket Jockey for sure. Dragging around people and tying them to stuff never gets old! I also second the Bullfrog Studios collection(Magic Carpet FTW!)and the MDK compliation(wasn't MDK 1 the first game to make headshots more damaging and result in decapitations?), among others(haven't played most LucasArts point-and-clicks, nor have I played much of X-Com besides a Terror from the Deep demo many years ago that ran way too fast).

I also agree. Don't know why more devs haven't tried to make a FPS in a western setting, it's easily one of the most underused concepts out there. Anyway, yeah, Outlaws was great.

First one that comes to mind: Sword Of The Samurai. With Total War type battles and perhaps something like Dark Messiah swordfights (ok, that might be as far off from japanese sword fighting as it can get, but at least it's something).

I'd like Warzone 2100 to be re-released but with graphics upgrade.

One of my favourite RTS games, because it was like a C&C game but you could design and build your own units.

You CAN run these Monkey Island games under Vista 64. You need to download an alternative installer for these games. You will find the Vista compatible installers here:

Escape from Monkey Island setup:
http://quick.mixnmojo.com/downloads?download=EMISetup1.0.exe

Curse of Monkey Island setup:
http://quick.mixnmojo.com/downloads?download=CMISetup1.0.exe

Cheers
