Certainly some old classics here.

I suppose EA has shown that it is financially viable to remake an old popular game with Settlers 2: 10th anniversary addition.

System Shock 2! I know it's been re-textured and re-modelled by modders, but I'd love to see it on the Doom 3 engine.

I see Civ 2 is on the list and it says

However, it would be great to see it get a graphical overhaul - building a civilization could look so much more impressive now!

wasn't Civ 3 basically just that?

My opinion: Rollcage 2, Simcopter (with multiplayer)

[and destruction derby 2, but flatout 2 already did a fairly good job]

Thief all the way! Playing the demo in 97 was the most exciting think. specially since i played in the dark

now that would be GOOD

Why the hell is MGS there? It's already been remade once. The original MG games are screaming for a remake. Especially since many plot points from them have been altered in the MGS series. It would be great if they completely remade them and tweaked the stories to fit in.

Deus Ex would be great if it was remade. I suppose it's not really all that old, but with better graphics, physics and AI it would be even greater than it already is.

Fallout > * tbh. I wish they'd actually got 3 done. And Warzone 2100, now there's a game which is overlooked too much.

I'm glad someone else mentioned it. That game ROCKED! I still have it somewhere.

I would say Mortal Kombat but every remake so far has been tosh.

Anything >3 has sucked, especially the one they made in 3D, looked horrible and didn't have the playability of the first one.

Mark another one up for Fallout and Monkey Island

Civ 3 changed the game mechanics by a fair bit, Civ 2 was the better version in my opinion.

I have two copies - I lost one and got another one, and then found the first lol. There still seems to be ongoing development. Whether it's worth waiting for remains to be seen.

I wish someone would remaster Prey... it's so old hat now!

I know it's not made by interplay, but Bethesda makers of The Elder Scrolls series have bought the right to Fallout and I believe are making number 3.

A remake of Ultima Underworld ported on the Oblivion engine please!

I'd like to see Alien v Predator on the Doom3 engine
