I was just re-watching (yes i know, it's old, for those of you have seen it), a remake of Chrono Trigger, the first game. By a group of programmers, who have re-done it 3D. Just the a video clip of it.

- For those who haven't seen it yet.

And have to say, it bring back many fantastic memories of the game, I used to play it at my neighbours house. Spending countless hours at his house playing the game. What memories. :)

Do you guys have any other games in mind that if played today is still fantastic, just needs a facelift?

I can think of a few. Syndicate Wars. :D

I'll toss a vote out for two games.. old, old favourites of myself and a friend.

Auto Duel (based on Car Wars, I believe, a Steve Jackson game.. but that could be alzheimers) was my top choice. My pal Aaron was always a big, big fan of Wasteland. Doesn't need a remake, so much as a facelift. A nice modernization to go with the gameplay. He kept his old computer dual boot (WinXP and DOS!) just so he could keep playing it.

I wish that they did an Uplink 2. Uplink 1 was great but the missions became repetive after a while. I wish they made a sequal with more complicated missions written into it and a longer plotline.

The entire series.
I'd also want to nominate Police quest SWAT2. The one with the terrorist campaign.

I'd like to see a remake of The Ancient Art of War series, the forefather of all modern strategy games.
The various Sim(noun here) games from Maxis were nice. SimAnt, especially, could look pretty nifty if it were remade.

X-Com: UFO Defense, although several groups are trying to sequel this already.

Robotron, because modern versions like Smash TV miss the charm of the original: the point was not so much killing robots as risking your life to rescue humans. You relied on humans for points to earn extra lives, so you were encouraged to rush into danger to save people from Hulks and Brains.

Terranigma, an obscure SNES game in which you rebuild the world one piece at a time.

Make a new-generation Mario game. Sunshine was pathetic.
