[george1979]

I htought AOE Online was out soon?

Ones i'd like to see

Road Rash
Broken Sword
Commandos
Company of Heros

Totally agree with the Road Rash one - I still think about this game every now and then. So much fun.

I'd like to see:

Altered Beast
Cannon Fodder
Shinobi
Final Fight
R-type

I'm sure there's more but my memory fails me

+1

Completely forgot about that game! Good call.

Right well pretty much all of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-wRrue_yBQ

Also I remember one of the Micro Machine games where you could collect the cars? (and then possibly use them in other races?)

And another game where you were a little tiny car and you could use a nitrous boost every now and again...?

[george1979]

What a great topic. You guys have reminded me about so many great games.

Syndicate is one I would love to see back.
The X-wing/Tie Fighter one (what was the one on the Nintendo Gamecube? Rogue Squadron?)
Also just remembered Speedball - loved that game. It was great to beat your friends to a pulp on your way to scoring a goal.

That sounds like a game I played years back, called Stunt something or other. Can't really remember it.

Skies of Arcadia - I really loved that game.

Not stunt car racer?


As memtioned someplace above, the old x-wing and star wars games could be ace today.

I had quite a soft spot for Stunt GP

[Biscuit]

Im amazed noone has said Streets of Rage yet!

[pauldarkside]

oh - how could i forget:

speedball!!!

(or was there a clone released recently?)

The Bitmap Brothers did remake it if for 2007/8 but didn't really catch on. I won a copy in one of their many give-aways and hardly touched it. Played stacks of Brutal Deluxe back in the day, taking my team through the leagues, this version however wasn't the game I remembered.

Steam have since removed it from their store and the official game site has long since disappeared. I don't see that series coming back any time soon.

Or Ghouls 'N Ghosts. No news of that since 2007 when it was said to be coming out for XBLA.

As much as I'd like to see a new SoR game, sadly I'm not sure Sega could pull it off.

ahh streets of rage that was legend back in the days, mind you they should keep it 2D and not 3D,
golden axe beast rider I'm looking at you.

Arcventure Egyptians- on PC but I played it on an Acorn

[jim]
