Road rash

Updated gameplay with modern graphics and realistic bikes bliss

Yes!

Also Populous, Carrier Command and Dungeon Master.

We had a remake of Carrier Command a few years back by the Arma people.

oooo, what about Starglider(2) it was made by the same people.

Gunship 2000

Just the right amount of sim Vs arcade, career progression with ranks, commanding multiple helicopter missions, and ongoing Campaigns. Just needs a graphical update, and maybe add some more modern military hardware.

Omg! Is that the game with the apache that has ride of the valkeries at the title, the helicopter Rises up and shoots at you?

Comanche maximum overkill was similar game on dos, at the time I thought the graphics were like real life

Apache that rises up and shoots you, but no ride of the valkyries

They would be all 2d and modernising wouldn't really mean better. You can't really reproduce the old 8bit games. Maybe harrier attack on mobile.

Frontier: Elite 2.

New graphics, maybe a few new missions. Keep everything else the same.

Don't change the frame rate though, I remember that being silky smooth!

GTA Vice City holds a special place, so I would love to see that modernised.

Haven't thought of Syndicate in a long, long, long while until I read answers here. It's bringing me back!

Road rash but using the Ride 3 game engine would be amazing

It came from the desert

Open world single player and evolving as you play, with npcs and giant ants and ant people.

Somebody please see this and make it

Paradroid (PAradroid 90 was fantastic on the amiga. an isometric version was planned a few years back - and shelved).

Stunt Car Racer. I once thought Track mania would be that game........... but it wasnt. (defintiely needs to have a VR mode too).

Midwinter - again a reboot was considered but seems to have stalled. (another one which would surely benefit vr options).

As for platformers like chuckie egg or dizzy or monty mole, or flood, or jet set willy - personally i would definitely enjoy playing such a game but for me i think they would have to be proper budget releases... i could not imagine me paying £10+ for them!.

I'd like to see The Sentinel/Archipelagos given a tarting up, maybe with some kind of fleshed out campaign mode rather than an infinite series of procedural maps.

Bazzards · 4 Jul 2019 at 12:27

Captive would be great spent hours on that on the Amiga. It was a futuristic version of Dungeon Master.

m4cc45 · 4 Jul 2019 at 14:03

Hunter would be a great game on todays machines.

Bloodwych/Dungeon Master (I know we have Legends of Grimrock which is good but just isn't as good as DM).

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain - the first one was really great with a brilliant story - just needs it's graphics updating.

I have loads more

Midwinter and Hunter both were so very very far ahead of their times, they would be excellent in reboots, truly

Road Redemption is apparently really quite good
