I’ve long thought that a version of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain in the 3-D style of the later games would be cool.
Seconded!
I used to win that game often, and I tried to do it in under 1 hour, game time (the game started at 12:00 and ended at 6:00, IIRC). You were supposed to collect pieces of various puzzles, put them together (I think you had to rotate some of them?) and then use them to get the password.
Joust is a good idea. Loved that game.
I spent more time on the Atari playing Warlords than anything else. Not sure if it could really be improved though… they’d probably screw up the gameplay somehow. There’s something nice about the simplicity - it’s PvP Breakout!
Try Oolite (wiki article). It’s not official, but my limited experience is that it’s exactly the same game, including the nearly impossible (for me) manual docking procedure.
Plus, the Elite: Dangerous Kickstarter successfully completed a little over a week ago, so there’s an actual new Elite coming in a year or so.
Seconded. It’s still one of my favourite games, and the only one for which I went as far as buying the official guide (that I had to order from some bookseller in the USA, since I discovered the game only in the mid 2000s). I opened this thread only to nominate it.
This most definitely this.
I’d also be interested to see a new take on a couple of Atari 2600 classics, River Raid and Combat
Eliza and Zork.
Darklands! Awesome game with some major bugs but still way fun to play.
Chopper is an ios and Mac game very reminiscent of the original Choplifter. There is a lite version for ios. Chopper is free for the Mac
Also Malden Capell mentioned Gauntlet and Lemmings. There are ios versions of these.
Cavemen is a Lemmings clone. It has pretty much exact copies of the original levels so nothing new but it is fun to have a portable Lemmings. Lite version available to try before you buy.
Catacombs is not a Gauntlet clone, but an all new game with original levels. It’s a dual stick. top down dungeon crawler, with warrior, mage, thief, and archer classes, very similar to the original Gauntlet. Mixed reviews, some love and some hate, but I really like it. Does not seem to be a lite version available.
For a moment there, I thought you were referring to the 360 game produced about 5 years ago, and was going to resort to the old ultraviolence for even suggesting there might be a connection between the two games.
Were Mulvihill and co. involved with the original SEGA/SNES games like they are with the Kickstarter one?
I don’t know about skylines - in fact, the lack of accurate building placements is probably is biggest flaw - but X-Plane has incredibly accurate landscape (in terms of things like mountains and water).
Elevator Action
Super Cobra
Somebody actually made a freeware 3D version of Joust in the mid-90s with simple polygonal models. It was kinda fun, but (obviously) very, very simplistic. I wouldn’t mind seeing another stab (ho, ho) at that one.
My personal remake vote would be for the Sierra Quest for Glory series – all the games redone with HD hand-drawn art (complimenting the illustration style for the various games’ settings), a unified interface and combat system, and a reimagined fifth chapter that doesn’t tone-and-genre-shift the whole series.
I would also love to see the Myst games ported into a realtime 3D engine. I think realMyst was amazing and really improved on the original, and I’d love to see Riven fully brought to life.
I’d like to see the SSI “gold box” games redone using the engine Black Isle used for Icewind Dale and Baldur’s Gate.
I came in to say The Fool’s Errand, and thereby discovered that there’s a remake! Woohoo!
Thanks for starting this thread 
Defender. A first person version would be killer.
I’m torn…I really want the Gold Box series to be re-made, but I loved the “first person” view when walking around, and then the switch to a different perspective for battles.
So basically I want them to look like Legend of Grimrock for moving and interacting with NPCs, but then switch to Baldur’s Gate for combat.
Can’t be too hard to pull off, right? 
But since that’s not really possible, then yes, just a cool remake done in the Baldur’s Gate engine…or whatever engine they used for the recent Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition. that just came out.
