    So.. Alot of "old" games aren't being played anymore due to old graphics and low standards.

    I'm curious, what "old" games would you like to see remade as awesome as they were back then, but with new standars?

    My choice:

    This game was friggin awesome when it came out, and really hard. I never did like the sequel mostly because it didnt have as fun missions as the first game. Now give me more nostalgia

    I still play this game on lan with my buddies when we get a little sleepy. Its so awesome to just fuck around with the airplanes doing stunts and whatnot.

    Nice thread! I loved both H&D, Outcast and Codename Eagle

    Some of my most wanted would probably be:

    Stunts 4d:

    Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Kind of getting what I want from OTTD, but still not quite.

    Yeah, a "real" new Rainbow six game would rock. they lost it somewhere around the third.

    Trackmania stole a lot from stunts =) But yeah a proper Stunts remake would be awesome.

    These aren't really forgotten games in my opinion, I still play them regularly, but I was gonna say Transport Tycoon too

    Well, that and X-Com/UFO: Enemy Unknown

    [Blocked Image: http://www.ugo.com/games/strategy-games-top-50/images/entries/x-com-ufo-defense.jpg]

    Oh and I have extremely fond memories of H&D, but I'm sure they would all be shattered if I tried it today. Probably wont hold up well today D:

    I seriously think if they took a bionic commando rearmed approach to ski free it would sell pretty good on xbox live

    I think every great game from the 8/16 bit era should get a BCR like remake.

    Omg Mazy how could i forget about UFO; Enemy Unknown =) GREAT GAME

    Also loved Deus ex alot, great game. Codename Eagle was mostly fun in LAN just fu**ing around, i actually had 2 friends who could shoot planes with the tanks. That's a sign you played TOO much.

    My next pick:
