MMGN.com writes: PC Gaming has a long, rich history, that is full of genre defining titles. 2012 - 2014 is going to see some of the heavyweights return from their slumber; we have a new MechWarrior on the horizon, two new XCOM games, not to mention another DOOM that is lurking somewhere in the shadows.
Here's five more PC franchises that we would love to see return to the spotlight.
PCGamer : One of the great strengths of PC gaming is a back catalogue that spans decades. Companies like Nintendo emulate older games on their modern consoles, but that can't compare to the thousands and thousands of games you can track down from the history of the PC. But not every banger that's ever dropped on DOS or Windows is so easy to find. Some of the all-time greats still aren't available digitally even now, and your only legal way to play them is to hunt for a boxed copy on Ebay and hope it plays well with modern Windows.
Like the article said, No One Lives Forever has no known owner. This mean you can't buy it, but you can (for now) download it for free without repercussions. Just go to nolfrevival(dot)tk to get the whole series for free. Lol
Black & White was decent, back then my most played would be Worms 2 for the online multiplayer tho.
NOLF i didn't really get into.. I was busy enjoying Soldier of Fortune 2 online multiplayer in 2002 until the next big thing came in 2004: Half Life 2 and then the free online DM mode which came slightly after.
Takes a bunch of random games that were not available digitally and complains or makes a obvious point? that you cant get them anymore. Yeah, the gen x game list probably will do that.
And then there us the matter most of these can still be obtained (digitally) even some legally for free. Was this just a random thought? Oh gee I miss these games (or maybe I heard of), let me me pull something out of my butt for an article.
In today's Ripe for a Reboot, JDR looks back at Cate Archer's superspy exploits in The Operative: No One Lives Forever and its sequel. Why haven't we seen more of this lady and her adventures.
I'd love to see a remake of the first two games, the third we can forget about, then we can get a real sequel next.
Damn I remember playing this when I was a Kid.
But if I remember correctly, no one knows who owns the rights to this game.
Hell I'd even take a simple remaster on Steam so I could play these games with modern resolutions.
This was a great game for it's time. I wouldn't mind a reboot or somethinganother.
Player 2 takes a look at some classic titles that are hard to get running well in this day and age and puts a case forward for them to be updated.
new MYST anyone?
The proper Age of Empires series & Rise of Nations,
Freespace 1,2 should come back. was the best space game ever.
Just check it out, even today it plays well and looks pretty good.
