Old games you'd like to see ported/redone?

I consider Pirates of the Burning Seas to be a good successor to SM Pirates!.

I've followed the progress of that project for a while, and I'm tempted... but I'm also a recovering 2-year WoW player, so no more MMO's for me right now. My current schedule only allows for short bursts of single-player gaming.

Wing Commander...

WING COMMANDER!!!!

<starts gibbering>

MUST BRING BACK WING COMMANDER!!!

oh... and Strike Commander was pretty cool too, a flight sim where you had to buy your weapons.

Hmm AIM-9M or AIM-9J? Well all-aspect targeting is nice but expensive, guess I just have to fly better. Hmm... Laser Guided or Iron Bombs?

If you wanted to make money you needed to use cheap missiles, dumb rockets and iron bombs...

Freespace's Open Source Project has a Wing Commander mod for it that might be worth checking out.

Not sure I'd like to see any old games redone because they always seem to screw them up.

But assuming they did it right - I would really love to see a new version of Lords of the Realm II.

Rock and Roll Racing for the SNES.

I don't know about that one. I still enjoy the original pretty well.

Out of curiosity, what exactly would you like to see in a sequel/remake?

For PC- Masters of Orion II.

For console- Vigelante 8. Dang, I wasted soooooooo much time on that game. My first introduction to the "mindless destruction genre".

Hell yeah, LOTRIII was just sooo abysmally bad, how they could release a game that was so crap is still a mystery to me today. LOTRII is still good, I still get that out every few years.

MOOIII was similarly crap.

Lucasarts need to release another Star Wars flying game, it has been far too long.

There is allegedly a new Jagged Alliance game in the works, but it is very low profile, so who knows if it will ever see the light of day.

Freespace 1 or 2

I would say it is the best space combat game I've played with a pretty good campaign too and a ton of mods. Too bad there seems to be a relative dearth of any good space shooters out there now other than maybe Freelancer released like 5 years ago and maybe the X3 series though that is not as focused towards fighting as to empire building

For me, I would like someone to revive the old dos game Sword of the Samurai. It has battlefield strategy, single player missions, court intrigue, etc.
