Some games are classics and would be very difficult to improve upon. X-COM, for instance...in the years I've spent with that game, there's been precisely one niggling thing you couldn't do that I wish you could...and that's it.

But for others, like SEAL Team, a retouch with some more modern ideas, especially where control issues are concerned, could be awesome.

As for 2D and 3D...I'm noticing that a lot of 'nominees' for a touch up are sims where you were working in 3D anyway.

Oww, never played Seal Team. Heard alot about it tho. You ever played Special forces or something like that? I had it on amiga, was a great game! If you're soldier was killed/wounded on a mission, you had the chance to go back and rescue him. Loved that game!!:rock:

Lucasarts "Tie Fighter" :rock:

With graphics like the title screen from Empire at War.

Never got a chance to play that one, though I've heard some about it.

TIE Fighter: Spruce up the graphics and don't do another thing to it. That'd be pretty damned cool.

Some good racing sim\games with today's graphics and force feedback.

1. Gran Prix Legends

2. Some type of Indy 500 sim.

3. ????? Again all with todays graphics and Force Feedback. :yep:

Shame on you stabiz . :lol: You should have posted this. :rotfl:

I've always dreamed of a 3d remake of the original Dragon Warrior. I spent a lot of time on that game back in the day.

I would also love it if someone were to remake Super Off Road with updated graphics and such. I loved that game.

FIREWALL 01-24-09 07:31 PM

I can't remember the last recent up dated auto racing sim.

TheBrauerHour 01-24-09 11:07 PM

I would like to see the old Wing Commander series redone.

But I kinda agree with Dowly in that maybe it is best left old.

TarJak 01-25-09 04:48 AM

The classics are classics because of the feel they gave in the time they were around. AOD is a classic but TBH should not be redone as it would be a completely different game now

Hehe, I am a bit to cynical these days. The games that come out nowadays are mostly **** so I think we have to rely on modders to see proper remakes of vintage racing titles.

1. 3D version of Starflight!

2. Battlzone - Best RTS game because you played it as the Commander and could use any weapon you wanted. Fun sniping enemy tanks and using it against them. Problem was, it was too complicated for your average person to grasp.

Oh yes Battlezone is a definate must for me. Though I didn't think it was all that complicated. Battlezone 2 was decent but it tied you down to one location once you built. It didn't have the cool pick up and leave at a moments notice ability.

B-17: the Mighty Eighth by Microprose. I really liked the strategic bombing as well as being able to plan the missions for the campaign. Give it better graphics, polish up the clumsy interface, etc. Maybe introduce night bombing and include other bombers like the Liberator and Lancaster.

FIREWALL 01-25-09 03:14 PM

Doe's anyone remember the last new Racing sim and when it came out ?

Captain Vlad 01-25-09 03:18 PM

iRacing launched in 2008, and Simbin released the STCC and Evolution packs for Race 07.

CaptHawkeye 01-25-09 05:24 PM

Oh man, SUBMAN made tears form in my eyes by bringing up Battlezone. Such an awesome game. Nobody even bothers to try making titles like that anymore. Unless it's Pandemic and they're just trying as hard as possible to RUIN IT.
