Topic starter  

I finally found this old gem. At the time I thought it was a great game and playing it now its actually still a really simple, unique fun little game which I think would make a great remake. Thought it was spacey enough for here 😉

I have visions of multiplayer teams... 😎

I've played a lot of Spectrum games through the years but I don't remember that one. Looks very Ballblazer-y.

They need to remake Wing Commander's 3 and 4 with better cut scene videos. Oh, and Privateer too, come to that.

I think you can get better quality cut scenes for Wing commander 3&4 and Privateer 2 on CIC Wing Commander site.

Yes you can get better enhanced videos off WCIC, so try that.

I just want to see that remake of Tachyon The Fringe with the Freespace 2 Open engine completed 🙂

I think I found a game a while back that was a solid remake of Impossible Mission for the C64 and it looked good. I just never looked into the game and whether if it was for the PC, I think it was on Xbox? I played the heck out of Legacy of the Ancients and I would like a 3D version of that game.

I'd love to see Star Lancer re-made into a full MMO.

Besides Elite?.. Oh wait 😉

I'd like to see a remake of Millenium 2.1 / Deuteros. A blend of base/resource management and interplanetary expansion.

Forgot one sort of space themed - at least scifi: Outcast ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_ (video_game) ).

It was a great first person adventure game.

Mercenary, a quite old game also could be interesting.

Other styles: Tai Pan, ...

I played Millennium 2002 and Deuteros on AMIGA  and I liked them,  I consider these two games worthy for a remake und4er Windows. BTW, there is a remake of Millennium, but after a while playing, I have some graphic problems, which I tried to get resolved, but in vain.

Mercenary desveres a mordern remake, you can download the emulated versions for the PC at http://mercenarysite.free.fr/merce.htm

 

Outcast is a great game but does suffer from bad controls, there's also a team working on doing a new version of that game.

 I wouldn't mind a remake of Masters of Orion. Played countless hours on that one 😉

Great news regarding Outcast Pinback - thanks! I had no idea.

The controls could be a bit lacking, but the game atmosphere more than made up for it. Btw, anyone has ever played a little charm of a game named Little Big Adventure (If I remember correctly the american name was Relentless)?

MOO - well, I also loved that game and played it "to death". Despiste the follow-ups and the numerous 4x releases, so far imho none has captured the simplicity and addictiveness of MOO.

Changing game type and back to Earth, I'd welcome a Midtown Madness redone.

Theirs Free Orion but according to the main page it inspired by Master of Orion and is not a remake or clone of the game. http://www.freeorion.org/index.php/Main_Page

 

Remember playing the demo of Little Big Adventure on the PS1 and liking it but never got the game, got a PC dos copy some where but could never get it to work.
