[Closed] which classic computer game(s) would you like remade for today?

Repton (BBC)

Willow Pattern C64

Final Fantasy 7, as long as they promise to do it right. ie, make it look better, but don't change the gameplay in the slightest. Though I think if they ever do it, I'll probably find fault regardless.

And Homeworld. Oh yes.

Oooh ooh oohh and Lords of Midnight.

Pole position.. ..
Although, I never play games these days anyway. ..

Golden Axe!

Whatever the Beast one was on Megadrive.

Alex Kid, including dolby 5:1 soundtrack.

Northwind,

I think a Final Fantasy 7 HD remake is on the cards at the moment. Exactly what you want...

P

Road Rash +1

Manic Miner

Jet Set Willy

Attic Attak

I'd say Sonic, but they've tried and failed IMO

Populous 2

I've played the original on an emulator and it's rubbish, I'd like to see a modern version of it.

OP - Speedball (Remix?) is already available on PSN to download..
as is Alien breed

Not really fussed about any old game getting remade, many were amazing first time round but to stand the test of time a remix would pretty much have to be a completely different game. remakes/sequels of older games often completely lose the addictive simpleness of the original IMO

<EDIT> except roll playing/adventures and strategy games which I didn't really play the first time round.

Hmm. This'll sound odd, but Total War: Shogun. Yes I know there's a modern sequel, and that it's brilliant- but the original game had a pretty different feel to it, a much more stripped down simplicity that all the other Total Wars have lacked.

So I want original Shogun with upgraded graphics, AI etc.

Just plug an old C64/Spectrum into a **** off big LCD TV

That'll "upgrade" the graphics 😉

Wonder what 256x192 looks like on a 60 inch screen 😆 Pixels the size of your head.

Turrican 2 on the Amiga.
What was that helicopter game too? Desert Strike?
The Chaos Engine was a good two player game.

Very sad to say, but great when you're a kid, no one I knew ever bought an original game for their Amiga...everyone at school would just swap copied games or some lads dad would supply lists with anything you wanted, for the cost of a days dinner money! The latest cracked versions of X-Copy were what everyone wanted, so you could copy any game...there were always a couple that wouldn't copy, a sickener when you borrowed a game and your mate wanted it back. 😆

Star Wars

Wizball
Creatures
Turrican
Paradroid
Supremacy
Barbarian II
Spy vs Spy

All from C64 of course.

+1 for Mercenary would also like to play Spyhunter again(as much for the soundtrack as anything else)!

street rod 2 -
a car racing/modding game for the Amiga where you bought second hand parts from the paper and had to unscrew nuts and bolts to fit them

+1 desert strike

cannon fodder - best theme tune ever

+1 for ik+. especially in turbo mode

there are loads more too....

+1 for Star Wars.

Carmaggeddon.

Day of the Tentacle

Hidden and Dangerous ( could the mythical re-developers also please fix all of the bugs in the new version please ).

Chuckie Egg.

Chuckie Egg.

More than 25 years later I can still hear the footsteps...

Some good ones there. Had completely forgotten about cannon fodder.

What about stunt car racer?

Leisure Suit Larry too.

Chase HQ.

Elite
Keep gameplay the same but modern graphics, and an even bigger universe and ship fleet and a selectable modern mode with optional ahoot em up battle bits to break the occasional tedium

Taipan

A lot of games i just couldnt see working as a modern remake without either having comparitively dull gameplay or changing from the original significantly. But if there had to be one....

Citadel

Ye Ha Karate
Bolder Dash
International Karate
California Games
Winter Games
Summer Games

All these were for the Comodore 64 and can you guess what i still have up in the loft?! yep the good old 64 boxed with all games, tape player, Joystick, only thing missing and am sure i could get one if a tried is the power pack, loaned it to a guy over the road many moons ago and it was never returned!

I think FF7 updated would be amazing. I would keep it as that though, an update, just a makeover of the graphics and sounds, using the original ideas. The gameplay is fine.

I would also like to see remakes of:

Grand Prix legends, but have it on console/big TV not pc.
Elite, imagine elite with modern graphics and possibly online interaction. I wouldn't make it a MMORPG more have interactions to trade etc in the same way you can trade cars in forza4.

Dizzy
Bubble Bobble
Operation Wolf
Pong

All to entertain my nephew of course... 😳

What about "Repton" which I played on my old BBC, the good news is I found it via iTunes and I have it on my iPad 😀 my kids this it's rubbish but me and the Mrs love it.

Thrust

Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix racing games.

Way better than any of the cack thats available today. I used to play the original on BBC's and it was fantastic... until you look back at it now 😆

Carmaggeddon.

Day of the Tentacle

Carmageddon is on it's way and DOT is already out.

Thrust is on the iPhone it's called Dropzone.

Elite is out too for PC and Mac called Oolite

Spy v's Spy is being remade for the iOS

Manic Miner

Jet Set Willy

Google "Andy Noble"

Gauntlet
Ghouls & Ghosts
Pilot Wings
Road Rash
Chase HQ
Robocop
Double Dragon
Probotector/Contra
Alex Kidd just for a laugh
Hunchback
Chopper
Green Beret
Shinobi
Cabal

For Samuri, From Dust pretty much a re-imagining of Populous.

roll playing/adventures and strategy games which I didn't really play the first time round.

System Shock

I was going to suggest X-Com, but that's already been remade and is about to come out. Looks very good too.
