Digital re-release of old games
« on: August 03, 2019, 12:41:49 pm »
Which old games would you love to see re-released digitally on platforms such as Steam/GOG and PSN/Nintendo eShop and why? For me, I would love to see something like Encarta MindMaze or The Sims 1 reappear on Steam or GOG just so that the newer generations (post 2010) would have a chance to play those games just like I did. What about you guys?

Digitally, none.
However, there are many games I'd really appreciate to have physically for any of the current generation consoles such as (in no specific order):
- Alex Kidd in Miracle World
- The King of Fighters '98
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time
- Star Wars:  Rogue Squadron II
- Metal Gear Solid
- Ai Senshi Nicol
- Herc's Adventures
- Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse
- Garou: Mark of the Wolves
- Azel: Panzer Dragoon RPG (AKA: Panzer Dragoon Saga)
- Sonic the Hedgehog CD
- Nanatsu Kaze no Shima Monogatari
and...
- an Ace Combat Collection or something like that...

I love the sims 1 and 2 series on the PC, it's unfortunate that the only way to get a digital copy of the sims 1
(at the date of this post) is through illegal ways and for free. I still wish that all old video games were still being released physically as well. And also if the physical copies of most old PC games, would be compatible on a modern PC windows operating systems.

yea the Mechwarrior series is a great mech fighting series. The game is kinda hard, but my favorite Mechwarrior game, is the 4 series. Because you can turn on invincibility, in the options menu, and still get to advance through the campaign missions.

I keep hoping someone will remaster The Dig for any console really.

Only games that can no longer be played on original hardware. Remasters are OK, but only for 4:3 or arcade resolutions to 16:9. Anything with a upscale that retains pillarbox on 16:9 is a waste of money.
