    Man I miss tribes. No other FPS has come close to it since. Sector 8 is showing some promise though for a Tribes a like

    Re: Old games that would be awesome remade

    I know I have posted about this game before but:

    Werewolver of London on Spectrum 1989

    A few things this video does not tell you. When the gold cross appears at the bottom of the screen, it means a member of the family that cursed you to a werewolf is near. The aim of the game is to kill all of that family to break the curse.

    I never did finnish it. Why? My lovley spectrum 128K. Too long ago to remember exactly. But I could probably count on one hand the ammont of times I actually got the bloody thing to load. 20 mintues to tell you NO.

    In that video I am disappointed it did not show you eating peole in werewolf form. You were near invincable.

    Cops would shoot you and you would bleed. But you could eat people and your health would go up. First you kill them and their body is on the floor. every time you clicked the joystick button your health would go up and the corpse would disappear a bit more.

    You would just keep bleeding until daylight came and then the bleeding would stop. Sometimes you get those jailer guys like in the video. Then you need to run. As soon as you touched them you would go straight to jail until daylight.

    If you had been shot then you could bleed to death as you blood/health thingy would drip away an you would die in prison.

    I remember, you would be eating loads of policemen and then it would turn to sunlight. So then they shoot you in human form and you are screwed. And that blue thing in your inventory allowed you to go down the manhole. You could run along the underground tracks and into a dark tunnel. But it was very basic.

    But bloody hell, 1989 and it had day and night cycle. Way ahead of it's time.

    Used to love this game, until my disk went dodgy for it :/ Did follow a FPS style remake of it from a few years ago, even had a short video of it, but I believe it got canned before it got anywhere near being finished. Can't remember which develeoper was doing it, might have been Jester Interactive as they currently hold the rights.

    There's many old games I used to love such as Chuckie Egg & Jet Set Willy, but I don't think many of them would actually do well as a remake, and are better off being fondly remembered. I do have a copy of Chuckie Egg that runs on my pc though

    One game I would love to see appear on steam or PSN is Projectyle, which was published by EA back in 1990. Had it on my Amiga, and played it loads in the league format with a few mates. If they could recreate that and stick in some decent network code for online play, I think that would be a cracker for something like PSN.

    I used to love the caravan racing (with or without the cow)... Was that in Skidmarks or Super Skidmarks only? Oh and that reminds me - Roadkill was a good game - another racing game but with weapons and and a top down view instead of isometric. And Super Cars 2 - used to spend hours playing that 2 player and timing it just right so you hit someone with missiles mid jump.

    I was going to say BugBomber, but someone's already made it!!

    Something like Frontier Elite 2 would be good as well. Oolite is more like the original and the X Series just doesn't have the same feel..

    Bladerunner was an awesome point and click adventure game back in 1997. I had mostly different characters to the film and could end a lot of different ways because it decided who was a replicant and who wasn't each time you started a new game.

    Re: Old games that would be awesome remade

    It's hardly old, but if Timesplitters 2 could be remade for the 360 it would be awesome. The multiplayer on the original xbox version was unmatched by any game, and I played it for hundreds of hours. The reason it should be remade (or at least made backward compatible) is because we could now play online for unlimited fun, as playing against bots got boring after a (long) while.
