I would like to see an up to date version of the old Microprose game, Airborne Ranger. I used to play it for hours on my old Commodore 64. With an expanded world, a map editor, and perhaps multiplay I think it would be even more of a blast. I also miss some of the old arcade flying sims that focused more on the fun of blasting aliens than learning realistic controls. Many games of today have their basis in the concepts of the past, but I think there is still a lot to draw from.

Most certainly my old favorite Marathon. If it were remade, I would run to the nearest shop and rudely tear it from the arms of another customer if need be

Realmz. One of the greatest RPG's ever... but now the entire community seems dead. I'd like to see a huge 3D version... or not, because half of the appeal was the cheesy 2D movement and graphics

What do you think about New Centarions?

Not counting halo, my vote goes to marathon.

My second vote (yes, i get two) goes to syndicate.

Cosmic Osmo! I loved that game when I was a wee little boy.

omfg, cosmic osmo RULED! not as much as dark castle, but then, nothing did at that time...
syndicate is also a really awesome game.

A longer version of Loom (or a sequil).

Jumpman, actually! A wonderful little game I first played on a Apple II, and now have on my Visor. I would LOVE to see a slick modern version of that (although if it were to require a G3, I'd shoot someone), and, in fact, I once tried to convince a few programmers to join me in a project to get such a thing going again, but no luck!

You know, you see a lot of arcade games being remade, but they are always along the lines o f Deimos Rising... never any side scrolling adventure games. I really miss those, because they can be simple but have a point at the same time. You could even make such a game that was 3D, and you could pan around, but the path would be single-line. They should have done that with Prince of Persia.

Actually there is kinda a remake of Marathon. Aleph One which is an opensoruce project based on the Marathon II engine... You can check out http://source.bungie.org/ for mor info.

I will go, but I do not know the way - Frodo Baggins

Yeah, I know. Aleph One has support for Open GL, making the graphics much better (for instance, in AO, one can look through the liquids in the game. This is, however (as far as I know) only compatible with Marathon 2 and later.

There is a remake of the original marathon on it's way; Marathon Resurrection. It is a mod to UT...

But it's not released yet.

I would love to see a new Bionic Commando. That game was very good, and the "grappling" idea was cool.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like grandpa; Not yelling and screaming like the passangers in his car.

Also a C64 game, Below The Root. Definately the first game I ever played, and what got me hooked. It was a storylined platformer, so it wasn't just mindless jumping around which I could never stand.

I'm talkative today, 3 posts so far

Bionic Commando - me too! That was easily my favorite 8 bitendo game. I still have the cart but never want to hook up the machine. Thank god for emulation.

Other nostalgia titles from various platforms: Seven cities of gold, Kings Quest, Choplifter, Boulderdash, Miner 2049er, Rescue at Rigel, Berserk ("INTRUDER ALERT!")

Did anyone play Questron for the apple 2e? That was such a great game..

All hail Phill, master of insane rantings, Ruler of Heck, and Prince of insufficiant light

ashes to ashes. that and the game where you have to run by the elevators without getting hit, running up the stairs to each level. i liked that game. it was so cheap, it was fun.

I played Questron on my C64 and it was a great game. Questron 2 and Legacy of the Ancients were pretty fun as well. I particularly enjoyed the mini games within the game for enhancing stats. That was fun.

I'd like to see Pirates!, another Microprose game, remade. I spent hours playing that. Also Covert Action...

-yes, I know I replied to this post earlier on, BUT;

I downloaded Aleph One in order to play Marathon with a few friends of mine, on PCs. Well... Let's just say the PC version was, well... Not satisfying. The program never actually quit. The window would close, but the proces was still running, so one would have to terminate the process using the task manager ([ctrl][alt][del]). Furthermore, when we played multiplayer, the game actually had several half-a-second lags(!). On two PCs, networked at 100 Mbps. Each PC well over the GHz, with 256 and 512 MB RAM. I could not find a way to reduce the mouse sensitivity, which was way too high. Q3, HL, DS you name the game, went well. Everything went smooth, except Aleph One. I have not tried the Linux version networked yet. The mac version I have not tried either. I just know, the PC compilation of AO is way below release stage. Buggy, laggy and with large necessary features missing

Ah well... Maybe if we both emulate macs, and THEN network AO, or Marathon Infinity or whatever. Maybe we then could get the macs to join as well!? *dreams of LAN gaming with all 8 slots in Marathon filled up...*

Ah, well... It's still fun to frag friends in other games as well.

Although Kick Off 2 is coming to the Mac, I would love to see "Sensible Soccer." A true classic. I would also love "Speed Ball 1 & 2."

Actually, the original Marathon scenario, with updated graphics and recoded for the Aleph One engine is actually available, at the Bungie Bighouse site, here.

Be that as it may, the game I would most like to see redone is Scarab of Ra. That is my all time favourite game, I've been playing it for twelve years now, still use it in Classic on X.1.4. Love it to pieces, it's just sooooo addictive!
