There has been many remakes, but not really any good one since the Amiga AFAIK

Speedball (and it is, so that's good )

I'd also like to see a Theme Hospital remake (by Maxis, using their Sims 2 engine)

[FrostyBoy]

I also second Colonization and Alpha Centauri, in the hopes that Firaxis is listening.

Especially AC.

Also add a remake of Lemmings 2 to my wishlist... one with MP functionality as in Lemmings 1

My list of games would be huge, and include many of those already posted.

Still It's difficult really. Yes it would be nice to see remakes but who would make them and how would they end up in todays market place? I can count on one hand developers that wouldn't just ruin the project and produce a fancy looking shallow copy of the original. And even that list has some previous.

So something like this:

Xcom
Elite
Daggerfall(no it never did exactly happen)
magic the gathering(original microprose version)
MoM
Xwing/TieFighter
Star Wars Supremacy/Rebellion(but make it a real tbs,less action more high level strat(not Empires at War)? And a nicer UI!)
Last Ninja
Darklands
Wasteland/Fallout(like Dis I don't hold much hope for the current Fallout remake)
SMAC
Speedball(maybe all it needs is a proper FM style manager overhaul - imagine 100,000's of players in a world wide league, lots of cup matches plus lashings of management extras, a bit like what SWOS did for Sensible Soccer, so you still play the game or just manage if you like?)
MechCommander
Pirates!(maybe look at the whole genre and combine the best bits? so Cutthroats level of detail, Pirates! playability?)
Imperialism
Empire of the Sun
lords of midnight(for nostalgia value )
Re-Union

The list could go on if I spent more effort. Still the question remains, who would/could do any of them justice in todays games industry? which publisher would allow the developer room to do it right?

Thirded. Especially Colonization. Not gonna happen tho, not PC anymore, alas.

[Kuciwalker]

Elite

It was called Freelancer (and the X series)

Daggerfall would be great in a modern setting. It'd be like Oblivion with a dash of roguelike random 3D generated dungeons/worlds/etc.

I'd really like to see Doom 1 and Doom 2 remade and rereleased or at least something spiritually close to them. Doom 3 is totally different, and while Serious Sam series is decent it's not quite the same.

[Andemagne]

sorry, DP.

Imperialism 2


Colonization and Master Of Magic would be great too.

I read 'Personal Computer' not 'Political Correct'.

[Kuciwalker]

Ditto. I thought it was a reference to Civ:Rev.

[ZargonX]

Make a proper Star Control II sequel!
