Would you purchase older classic games if they were redone with todays graphic standards? If so what classic game would you like to see updated? I would love to see the following games with new graphics:

Zac McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
Maniac Mansion
Sanitarium
Day of the Tenacle
Gabriel Knight
Simon the Sorcerer
Discworld
Monkey Island

It would be great to see this happen.

How bout some really old ones -

1.) Cranston Manor
2.) Mystery House

Phantasmagoria

and Gabriel Knight would be excellent, too

Hi Space Quest Fan, I would agree with your choices on GK 1, Discworld & Monkey Island! I would also like to see GK3, the rest of the Discworld & MI series, Dracula's Resurrection & The Last Sanctuary, Broken swword 1 & 2, Alone in the Dark - Jack is Back, Clocktower 1, Ark of Time, Versailles & any other classic recommended that I just don't try to get because I know it would be a nightmare to get them to play!!!

SHIVERS!

Still a favorite after all these years.

Freya

Ok My List

Discworld
Mystery of the Mummy
All of The Arthurs knight games

All the games that were made for WIN95, WIN98 remade to play on XP so I could do away with my 'extra' computers and downsize to just one
Love, Betty Lou :kiss:

I'd nominate Dark Side of the Moon and Ripper, if only to do away with all those discs!

Chrissie, they already have a newer version of BS 1 & 2 for XP, I'm playing them now with no problems whatsoever. Also have GK3 that runs fine on XP under Win 98 compatability.

I'd like to see American McGees Alice redone for XP.

I played Alice on my XP computer and it ran flawlessly with no tweaks.

How about an updated version of Drowned God; it's long been one of my favorites. If this ever happens, please don't change the soundtrack.

Many that you've mentioned thus far, and also the Zork series and Are you afraid of the Dark.

It is actually being done with the first Tomb Raider and it will be called Tomb Raider Anniversary. It comes out this summer, I believe.

And while it may be viewed as sacrilege, Riven might benefit from additional 3D and pixels.

Oh WOW! What a good idea! Wouldn't that be fun to have all our favorite games updated to the new technology! My oldest favorite is Grail Quest, but it's for a Mac. Hey, re-making the PC oldies to work on the Mac would be nice too!

I'd love to see Tex Murphy updated, especially the first two, Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum. The latter ones could have 3d graphics instead of FMV. How about Cruise for a Corpse too with better graphics and spoken dialogue.

Im glad you asked this,because I have often thought it would be really cool to see "Azraels Tear" with updated graphics! An updated "Secret of the Luxor" would be cool also!

Hi

The Indiana Jones "adventure" games - and all the Tex Murphy ones too - might be good

Bit I do think there is a risk of losing some of the original "panache" of some the oldies by re-vamping the graphics

I still play lots of the classic oldies in their original ancient graphic state and they have a magnetism for me that I fear could be lost were they to be too meddled with

Cheers.

Tex Murphy Overseer is basically a remake of Mean Streets...

There is a 1-Disc DVD version of Dark Side of the Moon floating around somewhere...

Grail Quest was also available on the PC, BTW.

I'd have to go with any Zork game. I still have a couple of those.

Oh Haze, I still have Drowned God. I hate to part with these old games. I'd love to replay them all but some of them don't seem to work on todays upgraded computers.

I would play any of the old games if they were updated. I love the old games they had something that the new games seem to lack, but I can't put my finger on it.

Hi Starlight Moon; I know the feeling. I've kept a tight grasp on both Drowned God and Obsidian and they have both run, with no problem, on my Windows XP. However, unlike BrownEyedTiger, I can't make ALICE run on it. Ah well, like it or not we'll all eventually have to see what Vista will bring to the table.

Oh, Grim Fandango! I think it is now on the outside edge of being able to be played on these computers today. I so loved that game and would have loved a sequel.... Also pretty much any adventure game that currently won't run or is really hard to run on today's computers.

It sure would be great if some game companies could see the interest out here for remaking classic games. We can always hope.
