Lets Cash in again

Since hollywood like rehashing old films in to the modern (and usually ruining them) I got to thinking what OLD games would people like to see remade?

Not really counting things like Doom as Doom3 whilst being a spiritual successor was pretty much a modernising remake anyway.

I mean games like X Wing which would be great if Lucasarts were to modernise that, I think it would look and play amazing on todays hardware. And doing the trench run would be AMAZING

Of course I am aware of the arcade machine, but again I'm talking home gaming.

Remakes are almost always bad. Speedball(?) was a great classic game and the remake was just horrendous. There are very few side-scrolling dos games one would tamper with like Commander Keen. I think that we should cherish the originals and not ruin the memory with remakes.

Dune (yes, the original game)

Beneath a Steel Sky

Walker (for the Amiga)

Zool

Wing Commander

Mechwarrior (though I hear there's a new one in development)

Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Off Road

Space Taxi

These are games I think would do well being remade and released today

EDIT: Add Freespace and Homeworld to that list

Crazy Taxi

Speedball

X-Wing

Worms

Lemmings

Lemmings Paintball!

Edit: also add Red Baron, and It Came From The Desert! to my list (though it would probably have to change dramatically for people to buy it)

You raise a good point, maybe we should include a how not to do it, or if you were to do it how you would do it to make sure it was done right?

Any "Good'Old Time" Sierra adventure game...

I know there are remakes and fan-fiction games... But I would love to see professional remakes of many of the * Quest series (King's Quest, Police Quest, Quest For Glory, Leisure Suite Larry, Space Quest... and so many more). I Love'em all !

Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Off Road

Holy **** haven't seen this game in ages. I loved playing it.

Here's a classic:

I still play it on my PSP

Heavy Barrel would do nice as a remake as well.
