Re: What classic games would you like to see

The first two were remade in the early 90s.

The last one, now that Microsoft own Rare (who were Ultimate) and seem to be going through their back catalogue, is a distinct possibility on the Xbox 360.

The games I would like to see are (amongst others) Thing on a sping and Bounder.

Monkey Island & Discworld games and generally any adventure games that don't rely on constantly having to fight this that or the other monster or person in order to progress through the clues.

they made some of the best games released for the C64 and Amiga: Gunship, F19 Stealth Fighter (certain elements of the DOD and USAF must have had a right chuckle among themselves), F15 Strike Eagle, Pirates, Airborne Ranger etc...
