    I was thinking of Deus Ex as well but it's not quite old enough. However, of any old game, that's the one I'd like to see given the HD treatment most of all.

    I'd love an old-school (graphics, music and all) sequel to Streets of Rage 2 and 3. The graphics and music are part of the awesomeness.

    Legend of Zelda - Link to the Past in HD, retaining the overhead view and gameplay but with modern graphics, would be pretty damn sweet as well.

    Before this year, I would have asked for an HD remake of Bionic Commando.

    Now I guess I have to pick Ivan Ironman Stewart\'s Super Off Road.

    I would say that Defcon was a great update to "Global Thermo Nuclear War" from Wargames. I know that they are doing it, but I can't wait for the updated Tecmo Bowl. That and an updated Custer's Revenge :winky:

    What like Prince of Persia Sands of Time for the GBA? A 2D platformer version of Sands of Time that resembles the original POP?

    Looking into that now, I'm fairly intrigued. That DS game on the previous page also looks promising.

    Maybe I should come up with more ideas for games I want made so that I can have people tell me they already exist!

    I would be a very happy man if Nintendo decided to Zero Mission-ify Zelda 1. Other than that, I'd rather see more new 2D LTTP-style games (or a new DS game that plays like Phantom Hourglass)

    I'm thinking that Nintendo is going to hold to the concept of doing 3D zeldas on the consoles and 2D zeldas on the handhelds. Ditto for metroid.


    Also, I'd say, "We want Metroid II remake!" but everyone says that every time, and there are a couple of fan projects doing just that, but none of them are "out" yet I think...

    Ideally? Shining Force II, with Valkyria Chronicles' engine. But I'm a whore for Shining Force.

    Besides that, Betrayal At Krondor's a game I'd love to play through again and could really benefit from an engine overhaul.

    I would like to see a remake of Chakan The Forever Man. I only got to play the Game Gear version but it was one of the hardest games I ever played. I just liked the consept of the character. I heard a long time ago that a sequel was planned but it never came to be.

    Anyone notice how some things (mattresses and the copy machines in Highrise) are totally impenetrable? A steel wall, yeah that makes sense, but bullets should obliterate copy machines.

    I don't know about you, but I always buy a bullet proof printer. Its a lot more expensive, but I think the advantages are apparent.

    Slightly off-topic, but I still wish we'd get a port of the arcade version. It was gory as all hell. I saw it once in my life, at a Wal-mart in the early 90s of all places.

    This needs a new sequal or remake, I'll take either. And I want it in glorious 3d HD etc...

    Agreed - as linear as the game was, Metroid II was easily one of my favorite Game Boy games. I'd hope for some other Game Boy titles to make it as being remade as well on top of that though:

    Donkey Kong
    Gargoyle's Quest
    Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
    Wario Land (SML3)
    Link's Awakening

    I would love to see a remake or sequel to the Ultima Underworld series.

    ultima20underworld2020tfg2.png

    And not so much of a retro version, but a "return to form" of the Splinter Cell series. I really like sneaking through darkly lit military bases or industrial buildings and choking people, and while Conviction looks like it'll be awesome, I don't want to play The Bourne Identity: Sam Fisher Edition.
