Warewolf <warewol...@shaw.ca> looked up from reading the entrails of the porn spammer to utter "The Augury is good, the signs say: >What are some of your 'old school' favorites? (These can include games for >the Apple ][, C=64, Amiga and other personal computers) I didn't really use any of those, since I used TRS-80 computers, then didn't touch another for years and didn't game until the 386 was out. But going back to the 386 and other games of the DOS era. >Should any of these classic titles get a(nother) remake or get tweaked to >work with modern operating systems? (Note: I am aware that there are >emulators available) ^_^ I would love to see remakes of: Alone in the Dark Betrayal at Krondor Blood Carmageddon Cybermage: Darklight Awakening Daggerfall Descent Gunship 2000 High Octane Master of Magic Privateer Quarantine Shadow Caster Star Trek 25th Anniversary Syndicate System Shock Tie Fighter Ultima Underworld X-Com >If you'd prefer a remake, should any extra features (ie a level editor) be >added? For the most part I'd just like to see them remade _ACCURATELY_, not re-envisioned like that piece of shit Tomb Raider Anniversary that changed so much stuff it was a different game (a much poorer one). Actually I'll add the original Tomb Raider to the list since Anniversary was NOT a remake. Update the graphics, but leave the gameplay, the story, the interface alone and stick that console controller up your ass, don't force bad compromises on games that were never intended to use one just to try and attract the console crowd who won't buy the games anyway.
