Just recently i got thinking about games that i wish were still around today. Why? I reinstalled my old favourite, Tribes 2. Tribes 2 was the first online game i ever played, and i played it obsessively for 3 years. My puberty consisted of 5 hours a night on Tribes 2. I got it in February 2002, and only uninstalled it and finally stopped playing about half a year ago. Then, this weekend, i thought i'd give it a go again. So, i installed, applied the patch and a fix to make it bypass the long-since broken Sierra update program, only to my horror to find a problem with the master server when i tried logging in.

Turns out that just a week or two beforehand on 18th August, the master servers had been finally killed, and Tribes 2 was no more. All i had left was the shoddy 'sequel', Tribes Vengeance, which many fans regard as the nail in the coffin of the series.

I wish that maybe some company would realise the greatness of T2 and remake it just as it was, only with today's graphics. No fancy additions to the game, no taking away from it, no adding to it so that it's 'the best experience ever', just the same old T2 but with nice graphics.

Sadly, i doubt this will ever happen. When it was released, T2 was never really that popular. It was ahead of its time, released in an era when people preferred the chaotic idiocy of Quake and Unreal Tournament, rather than the well planned games of Tribes. Games companies these days, being interested only in profit rather than innovation, would want nothing to do with a game that was supposedly a 'flop'.

Anyone else have any games they wish would be remade, but no they won't ever be, and are now lost in time?
