Funnily enough I had exactly the same thought the other day and nearly started a thread about it. Completely agree, it was a great game.

Toejam and Earl- Panic on Funkatron.

Although saying that, I'm not sure there is an a lot to be gained from graphics improvements.

God know what it would look like in a re-make but I loved this on my Atari 5200ST

[b]Beneath a Steel Sky[/b] is available on iOS hatter. It's pretty good though shorter than I remembered (probably due to not having to wait 10 minutes to load each level).

Another vote for Turrican 1 & 2 here. They were amazing games, I still play them on an emulated A500, but something is lost in the translation to an XBox controller, it needs a Competition Pro 5000 with autofire for best effect.

There's been a slew of conversions to iOS, but they all fail when you have to use a touch screen in lieu of a decent controller.

My other vote would be for Elite II: Frontier, but my wish was granted earlier this year when Elite: Dangerous went beta. I stumped up £100 for the privilege and despite a few glitches I'm confident that the final release will do the original justice.

I was aware of that, It's a rejigging, not a full remake really.

^^^^ what lyrikal said. I have a sneeeeeaky suspicion that there might be a PS2 under yon yule log this year, as my DD copy has been getting way too dusty on the shelf. That, and certain people in the household are not very good at keeping secrets - bless 😉

I am READY to race!!! (Until open gift and find it's a man's shower set)

Not one that needs remaking as it's been released on many formats over the years but I still really enjoy playing Doom, superb fun and almost 22 years since the original release.

Day of the Tentacle

We [i]might[/i] just get our wish here, what with GoG acquiring rights to the Lucasarts back catalogue. Fingers crossed.

Final Fantasy 7. Increase the resolution and generally improve the graphics without messing with the style, maybe make it slightly less grindy, change NOTHING ELSE.

Not MDK2 which was nowhere near as good. I'd still play this if I could find the disc!

Didn't they just do that on the PS4?

It's a shitty port, and not a remaster.

Oh and Birth of the Federation and Master of Orion 2. But do the licencing right for BOTF so you can have proper enterprises.

No need for discs or editing obscure DOS config.sys files to free enough memory to get it to run.. 🙂

And 40% odd off at the moment. You're welcome. :mrgreen:

I had Speedball 2 way back on the Xbox 360, was still an awesome game. IMO there needs to be a remake of Roadblasters, Chase HQ and finally some sort of X-wing / Tie fighter update for PS3.
Not rebel assault style either! Nothing beat being able to actually switch shields to double front on my 486.

I was going to say Road Rash but was beaten to it.

So I'll go for Rick Dangerous instead.

I also see that Flashback was re-made in 2013. Great game that was.

Its not quite the same but go and look up Spelunky - it can be very frustrating the way R. Dangerous was with the disadvantage that you can't actually learn the level maps (they regenerate).

Shadowman from the N64/Dreamcast/Pc also a proper high definition remake of Zelda Ocarina of time.

Thunder hawk on Amiga. Full cyclic / collective control on the mouse!

Also f15 strike eagle 2 or F19 retaliator.

Nobody seems to make these arcadey flight sims any more!

Just started playing MSG again on my resurrected PS1. Still an amazing piece of game design.
