[QUOTE=Anaamika] Damn you, that’s what I came in here to mention. I mean, we left him in the Blood Wars, which was his just reward, but eventually even he has to work off his debt. And maybe we could play a game of his working off the debt. As it is, I can’t play the game again because the ending was so final and complete, I feel like there’s nothing else to play. [/QUOTE] Blood Wars? Last I saw him, he was reigning as the Silent King – protecting his people from conquest by making sure that peace rests not on the fragile balance of threat but on an authentic balance of power. Maybe I did that wrong. ;j ---

[QUOTE=bouv] Wasn’t Spaceballs basically just Jews in Space? 😛 [/QUOTE] Well yeah, and so was BattleStar Galactica, IIRC, complete with them being persecuited by the Romans… er… I mean.. the Cylons. 😃 ---

I’d love to see a new installment to Blizzard’s Starcraft RTS series. After all, they left the galaxy in the hands of the Zerg. ---

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…SimEarth. Calculate that FUCK out of the atmospheric model! ---

[QUOTE=Equipoise] Damn McSpon, beat me to it. **Buckaroo Bonzai** , definitely. I always wanted to see a sequel (hell, a whole series) bouncing off **[Zero Effect](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0120906/)**. I loved Bill Pullman as the eccentric private eye Daryl Zero, and I thought Ben Stiller was great as his frustrated, long-suffering assistant. Unfortunately the original movie died at the box office (too quirky for people, I guess) so we’ll never see another adventure. [/QUOTE] Good calls on all three counts. I loved Zero Effect, and suspect a lot of people would if they had only heard of it. More Buckaroo Banzai would be great, but in case you are curious, they just started a comic book series with new continuing adventures. As for Remo Williams, I’d rather see an updated, serious remake rather than a continuation of the Fred Ward/Joel Grey movie. ---

Actually, I’d love to see a sequel of [Fale Colors](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671577840/sr=8-11/qid=1149661956/ref=sr_1_11/002-3156637-6164809?%5Fencoding=UTF8) , by Andrew Keith and William Forstchen, seeing as how it was intended to be the first book of a trilogy (as a prequel to [The Price of Freedom](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671877518/002-3156637-6164809?v=glance&n=283155). Unfortunately, the main writer of the series died before they could continue the story ---

[QUOTE=Scupper] Exactly what I came in here to mention. I’d also like to see a Star Control III, since **they never made one.** Nope. Never. Ever. [/QUOTE] Well, according to [this site](http://sc2.sourceforge.net/) the company that made 1 and 2 ( but not 3 ) are making noises about a sequel. Oh, and you can get a free, legal download of Star Control 2 there 2, under a different name. > [@](#): > > A few days ago, Toys for Bob, the creators of Star Control 1 and 2 (but not 3) made it known that they were in talks with the Powers That Be at Activision about what their next game should be. > > They decided that the stars are finally right, and are trying to convince the Powers that their next game should be a Star Control game. ---

[QUOTE=Lute Skywatcher] [I’d still like to see AutoDuel, the old Origin game, given the Sid Meier’s Pirates treatment](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=2014996&highlight=autoduel#post2014996). [/QUOTE] Fuck, yes. Also, I`d like to see Actraiser 3, but following _much_ more in the spirit of 1 than 2. Maybe add a more detailed RPG system…granted, a decent action rpg combined with even a mediocre god sim has got to be a wicked system hog.
