Soldier of fortune

Tribes

X-COM (the original revamped to modern standards)

Jedi Knight (Are they done with this? I hope not, loved the multiplayer)

Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe

Awesome game. If they could get the makers of IL-2 to remake this game, it would be sweet. You could fly everything, from the FW-190 to the P-47, and from the Gotha flying wing to the P80 shooting star. The excellent attention to detail and the scaleable realism found in Il-2 would translate very well.

I too would also like to see Tie Fighter remade.

Great Topic Thread! I have been waiting for twelve patient years for an updated Masters of Magic! That just might be my favorite game of all time. It was basically Civilization in a fantasy world where you researched different spells instead of technologies. I believe that it came out before Magic the Gathering card game but it used the same five colors of magic system. The game was great for it's day (1994 or so) but Soooo much more could be done with it with todays technology. The gameplay actually still holds up by today's standards pretty well but the graphics and sound are 1994. I'd be happy if they updated it with CIV IV tech but truthfully I was not that impressed by CIV IV.

I woulddefinitely second the gamer who said X-COM: UFO Defense! I am currently playing UFO: Extraterrestrials which is being billed as the spiritual successor to X-COM: UFO Defense. It's OK (particularly with mods) but the graphics and sound are 1999 at best and the gameplay needs balanceing and work. It's still the best X-COM like game to come out since the original but it leaves me wanting more.

I could probably think of others but those are the main two.

Wing Commander - it's about time we had an immersive space combat simulation again. Might even buy another joystick.

Sorry for not being original, but Diablo

good topic indeed,

any star wars games from old especially the space sims.plus the original Dark Forces Kyle Katarn FTW!

The original Rainbow Six with new graphics and stuff

Starcraft but they are doing that one as we speak.

and for RPGs either NOX or Diablo

The one that comes to mind for me is Starflight 1 and 2. There's a web site from the original programmers that say they are working on an updated sequel, but I don't think they've done much work on it (since, I believe, they are working regular jobs and doing the new game on the side).AmmonMoley

King's Bounty...wait...it *is* being remade! Happy days!dnuggs40

For real? Heh that's awesome

Carmageddon

Lemmings

Syndicate Wars

Theme Hospital (and don't even mention Hospital Tycoon as I went straight back to TH before even finishing HT)

lemmings is updated and i think its good, but lemmings number is a bit low

personally i would want Crazy Football in these 3D flashy graphics

maybe Moonstone, but its a classic so if they make it worse i would like to kill them

MechWarriortheshadowhunter

I agree. Though Chromehounds on the 360 did a great job with Mechs. But a proper MechWarrior sequel would be great.

Mutant League Football.

Blast Chamber.

Full Throttle.

Starflight.

Actually the Half-Life 1 remakehas already been happening. Its called Black Mesa Source. A mod team have worked on this with Valve for like 2 years. They are rebuilding Half-Life from the ground up using the Source engine. The game looks awesome!

lemmings is updated and i think its good, but lemmings number is a bit low

TheLegendKnight

The games that come to mind quickly when I think 'remake' boil down to King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, (Original lot of names, no doubt) Monkey Island, Diablo, and System Shock 2.

Of course, I suppose you could count Deus Ex as a spiritual sequel to SS2. I'd kill to have a next-generation remake of Deus Ex that didn't turn out to be a complete and utter disappointment. (Cough, Invisible War, cough.)

Mmm, baldurs gate? I guess

No it's not. I'd love to see SS2.

Some of these aren't that old, but i'd be cool to see sequels to them or redone

Ultima 7 (Ultima 7 part 3?? back on britannia with same characters and npcs and more)

Day Of The Tentacle & Grim Fandango

Jagged Alliance (there was a halfass attempt at a remake but it fizzled out)

Super Spike V-ball (outlaw volleyball came close to it but not quite)

these Bullfrog classics - Theme Hospital, Syndicate, Magic Carpet...and maybe Populous

Final Fantasy 4 & Final Fantasy 8

Privateer (or a Freelancer sequel)

Simfarm

Dune 2

Zanzarah

Possibly:

Jedi Acedemy

Klingon Academy (An exact remake would be best).

Shogo

Mechwarrior
