What software/game would you like to see a modern remake of?

[Elfen]

Red Baron II - just improve the graphics and maybe some sounds, but keep everything else alone.

Gauntlet. "Wizard needs food, badly."

It would be fine with me if gameplay was not changed at all; just update the graphics. Or maybe not even that! Just port the thing directly! Older games like that would be perfect candidates for open source. Look at Marathon, still alive and well today through Aleph One.

If you have an older Wii with the GameCube ports, you can get the Midway Arcade Treasures collections which include Gauntlet and later versions of Gauntlet.  Of course, you need GameCube controllers, but a couple of the wireless controllers aren't too pricey -- or weren't a year ago.

Abuse was fun. There are probably a million remakes already... but I liked the mouse controls, simple premise and high level of difficulty.

 

[TheWhiteFalcon]

I have that with the Mac Action Set, it actually played quite well on my Clamshell. I was impressed.

 

[IPalindromeI]

I thought Abuse became free software - I remember playing it on my N800

No apology needed.  I took it as a good natured point.   I was applauding your simplification.
