You mean games as in computer games right? Not sports?

Then I have a good thingy for them.

World War I. Basically anything, there is almost nothing on the market about that war, compared to WWII, it's rather ridiculous.

Babylon 5. :yep: (Yes, I know there's a freeware game, but I mean a big budget game with acted cutscenes etc.)

Action Half-Life mod had one map where one side consisted of the members of the A-Team. It was hilarious. Several Mr T:s running around at the same time killing the opposing force.

The simulation world is starving for strategic bomber sims (B-17) and surface combat sims most, I think.

Whoever builds the first action game that features players with recruitable teams fighting for dynamic control of the Moscow Metro will have me buying 10 copies to give to all my friends! It doesn't have to make sense, it just needs to have realistic guns and 100% realistic environment, cause the Moscow Metro is THE coolest interconnected architectural complex in the world to have dynamic shootouts in :D

Think "Mornington Crescent", but in Moscow and with a lot of kalashnikovs.

Other. I dream of Sil ... uh ... Noisy Hunter. The war in Africa between Germans and Allies, roaming along the sanddunes in Tigers and Shermans. Dynamic campaign with random missions, and wildlife and civilians. Looking after your tank, replacing worn parts, and upgrading it along the way. Going from one base to the next, having to stop and scout the horizon for dust clouds, etc, etc. Oh, the joy!

(The reaon for desert war is graphical, much like water, and thus easier to pull off)

Some flight simmers would disagree. It was a rather romantic era in the air.

Actually the way i read it he thought the lack of WW1 sims was ridiculous not that WW1 sims were ridiculous.

WWI. Yes! If it's a grand campaign it would be fun, people must forget the steoreotype of trench warfare. Just think of all the interesting weapons, technologies, (airplanes, submarines, tanks and .. may I say it .. gas).

God, I also want to play a spiritual follower to Pirates! before I die. You know a pirate SIM with Silent Hunter graphics.

New versions of Panzer General and Close Combat every 5 years isnt it time?

I would also like to see a Grand Prix Legends 2 or just any good racing game that has 60's F1 cars.

There have been I know of one is "stalin subway" - you probably know it. The other one is still in development "metro 2033" more like stalker. Just in case you dont know these.

I agree with none of the above. I want to drive a corvette (not the car) from Halifax to Liverpool, looking for u-boats all the way.

I want to fly a Mk II Spitfire on a hit-and-run over French soil in January 1941. None of the current flight sims seem to cover my favourite period (at least that I know of - I am a little behind the curve).

I want to fly a Heinkel He-51 over spain in 1939 (I do have a copy of Luftwaffe Commander, but it's quite dated and gives little satisfaction).

I want to drive an early 77-foot Elco PT boat in the Solomons in 1942.

I want to drive a 73-foot Vosper in the Channel (that may come true someday, given the current state of the Schnellboot mod).

I want to drive a Type-C Auto Union at the Nurburgring in 1937.

I want to drive an Alfa Romeo 158 at Monaco in 1950.

That other stuff bores me.

Regarding the Miami Vice game, I played the one based on the original series, not the movie (*snort*) one. Its fun, but the low budget really shows through. It could've been alot more than it was.

I was however very happy they managed to get Jan Hammer to do some backing music for it. There are some original, very Vice sounding instrumentals in there that compliment the action.

Its the same with Knight Rider. There have been two games, but both have been vehicle based action, rather than on-foot AND vehicle. I just think it'd be pretty cool to be able to walk the Hoff around schmoozing and generally ballsing things up, then make my getaway in KITT in Pursuit Mode :cool:

Oops! That sentence structure threw me. :oops:

There are a few good strategic level games on the market now. Matrix Games has one called Guns of August. However, compared to the faster moving and more dynamic WW2, I think the Great War is always gonna lose out marketwise.

Hey Torpy, fancy making a Miami Vice promo image to send to some devs? :rotfl::rotfl:

We need more hardcore naval sims, INCLUDING WWI subs. Anything WWI would be cool. I'm also going to say that we need more SUPERHERO sims like City of Heroes or Freedom Force (With a built in editor so you can actually build your own heroes appearance and powers from the ground up without having to use 3DMAX to do it).

I am SO TIRED of real time strategy and First Person Shooters !!!

I think there should be more games with a way to create your own stuff with it.. a mission builder that is fully customizable. I like games that let me be creative.

Even Dangerous Waters has that nice little editor in there that lets me create a story within the confines of the game. :up:

Cops The Game.

For a minigame, evade the police for as long as possible in a car whilst performing under the intoxication of alcohol and LSD.

I'd love to see a police sim. A decent, realistic one.
