As cool as new IP and new gaming ideas are, sometimes there’s the comfort of nostalgia; something old and faithful, or a barely remembered that would be great to go back to.
With recent news that the Reboot TV show was being given a reboot, and the successful games we’ve seen the past few years that have had successful reboots – such as Xcom, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and soon, Thief, I was wondering – what games from the past would you like to see given some loving reboot action?
I’d love to see Little Big Adventure, which you might know as Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure, and I’ve been waiting for what seems forever now for Just Add Water’s Abe’s Odyssey. Erwin will undoubtedly harp on about Blackthorne again – but I do agree with him, Blizzard needs to resurrect that, along with another of its gems, The Lost Vikings. and while we’re on that, it’s bloody well time for a new Gobliiins.
Plus, I’d play the hell out of a new Dune RTS that wasn’t rubbish. Any of you ever play Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight, or Eye of the Beholder? I want more of that. Also, apparently I’m really old.
What games would you like to see given a good, loving reboot?

The original Deus Ex games. Would be great to recreate the methos built by the amazing DX: Human Revolution. Athough I can imagine loads of gamers throwing the toys if it had to happen.

Second vote for a proper Dune RTS, otherwise a remake of the original game that combination of adventure and strategy.
All the classic adventure games Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and the Lost Vikings.
And the Mouse can give us a new X-wing vs Tie-fighter.

Etter…LBA – What a game! Yes! That and the Nomad Soul! And more than anything else, Star Control 2! Would be so epic!
There are actually so many games I have fond memories of, but in most cases it is better if they stay just that, memories..

I kinda gave up a while ago with VM’s trying to get old games to work – but Grim Fandango does not need 3d graphics. Maybe I should give it a bash again.

Well then if you say it’s as good as that, then I too want it rebooted so that I can experience it in all its glory. Btw, Infinite is my favourite, not Bioshock 1.

System Shock is still way creepier than Bio. Picked it up from GOG with all the fixes when it was released earlier this year and couldn’t put it down again.

Bioshock is great, but SS2 will always be better. SHODAN is just so creepy.

I would LOVE a new Blade Runner game! The original Blade Runner was such an amazing game – different areas to explore, characters from the movie to interact with and 13 different endings… All the time not knowing whether or not your character was human or replicant! I spent hundreds of hours playing that game differently, just so I could see each ending.
Would love a new one! Sadly, according to an article on Kotaku recently, it looks unlikely due to licensing issues… 🙁

Found it, and it looks like it was funded too 🙂
