What retro game would you most like to get a remake?

I'm slightly impatiently waiting for Lords of Midnight to appear on iOS.Â There have been some good pc remakes of LoM, including a multiplayer version that I forget the name of - it is years since I played it, but I'm very much looking forward to Mike Singleton releasing LoM.Â Please let it happen!!

Hopefully Doomdark will also get the same treatment and then, perhaps,Â the tantalisingly named The Eye of The Moon will finally emerge.Â [/wishfulthinking]

A few others I'd love to see remade for modern platforms, with the proviso that the original versions are bundled(!), are; WOTEF, Exile, Elite, Frak!, Nebulus and Maniac Mansion.Â Not much to ask for.Â Oh, and and all the Infocom adventures for iOS - original versions probably not necessary!

Way Of The Exploding Fist!!!!

That is a great shout, IK+ would be awesome too!

This is a game I'd love to see remade:

It seems that every version I can find is a port of the original arcade. I cannot find a modernized version.

I would love to see a remake of the C64 game Doriath. It would be a great opportunity to improveÂ a great game and also make the game completeable without cheats (due to a missing amulet and a large part of the maze of tunnels lying empty).

Quote from: "The Laird"I never knew about that, I wonder why they havn't released that on other formats.

Namco released two 'Namco Classics Collection' arcade PCBs in the 90's that included original and 'arranged' remakes of Galaga, Xevious/Super Xevious, and Mappy on Vol. 1 (I have this PCB

) and Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Rally-X on Vol. 2.

Some of the new versions, like Dig Dug Arrangement, were included in the Namco Museum compilation for PS2, GC, and Xbox.

There's also the portable version of Dig Dug Arrangement that TrekMD mentioned, which is very different than the arcade/console remake. That version was included in the PSP Namco Museum Battle compilation and later released for iOS.

Quote from: "TrekMD"This is a game I'd love to see remade:

Mr. Do on the SNES is excellent. Basically the arcade game with improved graphics and a 2 player battle mode.

There's also Neo Mr. Do for the Neo Geo MVS. Major update that's not as good as the original but still a fun game... esp. 2 player. I don't think it ever had a home version, but you could probably try it with an emulator.

Time to look for a Neo Geo emulator!

MAME usually does the trick!

Well, I have MAME.Â Don't I need some sort of ROM file so it can play Neo Geo games?

TL · August 22, 2012, 01:24:57 AM

Some versions of MAME need a Neo Geo BIOS but the version I have on my computer now already has it and actually came with a few Neo Geo ROM imagesÂ

I cannot for life of me remember, its MAME 32 if that helps

Thanks, I'll try to search for it.

I'm not entirely sure but I think the version of Mame you are talking about may be MAME32UIFX
