What Game From Your Childhood Would Like To See Re-Released?

Gaming Steve asks, "I was asked which game I would love to see come out for the Nintendo Virtual Console / Xbox Live Arcade / PlayStation Network. It was a tricky question as there are so many games I would love to play again from my childhood, but right at the very top of my list was one of my favorite games of all time, StarTropics.

So imagine my shock when I heard that Nintendo was releasing StarTropics for the Virtual Console ... today!

What game from your childhood would like to see re-released?"

Dude, I have no freaking idea why Nintendo dropped Star Tropics but they need to pick it back up. My game(s) though would have to be Ranger X, a TRUE sequel to Chronotrigger, updated Illusion of Gaia, River City Ransom, and anything from Treasure.

2.1 - Original devs of Chronotrigger are busy

they're too busy making Blue Dragon 2 for the 360.

They wouldn't be able to make it anyway since Square owns the right, which is good because I couldn't stand the first Blue Dragon. If they stopped remaking the first 4 Final Fantasy games repeatedly then they could do it because Chrono Cross didn't cut it.

awww man you didn't like chrono cross? I thought it was great how they managed to make a completely different game, but still kept elements from the past one (crono, lucca, marle making an apearance etc.) The fighting system also has to be one of the best in a jrpg. And don't even get me started on the music...the song that plays on the world map in Another World...amazing

If they remade Elite I would be happy. I loved that game.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

I think it is a classic game, that has the depth to still be a viable
remake on modern hardware. Can't beat that 2001 Space Oddyssy style docking sequence with the Blue Danube Waltz playing!
Those were the days.

GREAT list! So many good titles there...and kudos for mentioning Bubsy, who was more than just a Sonic knock-off (as some alleged). He was Conker (snazzy attitude, pop-culture references) before Conker was a gleam in Rare's eye.

Pitfall...early Activision classic. Another ripe for resurrection on XBLA.

Altered Beast, Battletoads, Tecmo Bowl...among the best.

And a memo to Rare: Killer Instinct. On XBLA. NOW!

19.1 - It Came From the Desert including the Antheads add on by CINEMAWARE

That was such a great game on the Commodore Amiga. CINEMAWARE did another game called WINGS. If they just re-did the graphics on these games they would be hits again. I still play WINGS using a Amiga emulator.

I'd like to see more games that never made it to the USA and/or Europe like they did with Sin and Punishment for the N64.
