Good lord. I remember Chex Quest. It was great.
That game made me jump sometimes. My first FPS, and you start getting slimed when you aren’t expecting it.
Aces of the Pacific
Aces Over Europe
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Strike Commander
I’ll second US Navy Fighters

Seconded - except: It’s already here. Now go play!

I’m not sure if I love you or hate you. I’ll have to tell you in a few days.
How about Fallout 1 & 2? Focus on tightening up the bugs, expanding the game world, and accommodating even more dialog options and ways to complete quests. Include dynamic interaction models that take into account who you’ve already talked to and what you’ve already done.
No need to improve graphics, if they do what I suggest, I’ll be in geek heaven.
Husker Du? Great for teaching English.
Computer Ambush, just to show you my age.

Panzer General. I know men who lost their marriages over that game.

There’s a reasonable Windows port of an open-source Linux clone called LGeneral. You can download it from this website. The last time I tried it there was a lack of campaigns and scenarios, though.

Try XIII
Try FreeCol
X-Wing/Tie Fighter - Try X-Wing Alliance
[/QUOTE]
X-Wing Alliance was okay, but it wasn’t half of what TIE Fighter was. There is an argument to be made that TIE Fighter was the best game ever made for the PC.
Projammer I haven’t gotten the Larry collection yet. My copy of LL2 requires a 5.25" drive. Would you mind copying and posting Eunuchs, Larry’s assembly language program, on the Dope so somebody can finally tell me what it does?
Back To The OP
Beast. This was a game with ascii graphics, simple principles and loads of fun. Even with a cpu slower it won’t run properly on my machine. Updated graphics would be fascinating.

Would be nice:
Raptor: Call of the Shadows
Dominus
King’s Bounty
[/QUOTE]
King’s Bounty was remade for the PlayStation 2 as Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragonbone Staff .
A few monsters and names have been changed, but the gameplay and map layout are exactly how they were in King’s Bounty!

I’d LOVE to see the old laserdisc arcade game Dragon’s Lair made fully interactive.
[/QUOTE]
There’s Dragon’s Lair 3D but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.
Blood Bowl - I love the board game and even though the abortion that became the computer version was a twisted maze of programming train wreck, I liked it and played it often.
While they’re at it I’d like to see a remake of *Crimson Skies * for Xbox or 360.
[QUOTE=Lumpy]
Would it be possible to create a FPS that is fully interactive yet has Disney-level flat cartoon graphics and animation? Sort of like the original Doom and Doom2 only with 10x the resolution of the sprites and 10x the animation rate? True 3D polygonal NPCs are a great achievement, but for some games a “cartoony” look would be better. I’d LOVE to see the old laserdisc arcade game Dragon’s Lair made fully interactive.

You mean like this?
Or would you like the HD version?
Afterlife from LucasArts 
And Dune II.
Still waiting for an AutoDuel remake using the original universe.
[QUOTE=kingpengvin]
Not on computer but a great board game Broadsides and Boarding parties!
Man was that a fun game!
[/QUOTE]
Try Blackbeard, either the 1992 original or the new remake. A PC version had been in the works but the merger with Hasbro killed that.
You’ll probably like the PC game Corsairs even better. That reminds me, I haven’t played mine in at least a couple of years…
I’d like an update/sequel to Sundog; from the Atari ST, I think.
[QUOTE=VCO3]
I’ve never understood how Syndicate didn’t become a recurring franchise . Incredible game.
[/QUOTE]
There was a nice sequel; Syndicate Wars for the Playstation. Still, I’d like the series to continue.
[QUOTE=AmalgramFour]
I’d like a proper Populous remake. Populous the Beginning didn’t really satisfy my megolomanical urges. I want to rain fire with impunity from my cosy pad on Mount Olympus, not play as some poxy shamen.
[/QUOTE]
Yes !

Let’s go for the really old stuff: Pong! Eliza! Adventure / Collosal Caverns!
[/QUOTE]
This item from Jakks TV Games has both arcade and 2600 versions of Pong and plugs into your TV with no console.
There are dozens of versions of Eliza online, and if you are interested in chatbots, you can check out the latest winners of the annual Loebner Prize, given to those programs that come closest to passing the classic Turing Test.
2006 winner Joan
2005 winner Jabberwack
2004 winner AliceBot
Here’s an online version of (Colossal Cave) Adventure, and there are a number of others.
Quest for Glory.
I would love to see Sim Earth redone for modern graphics. I spent way too many days playing that game, preferring it to Sim City for some reason.
I keep wishing that they’d update Alpha Centauri.
