    Look for Deus Ex Revision on Steam, overhauls the game up to modern visuals etc, free mod and well worth checking out (you do need Deus Ex GOTY on Steam to be able to run it).

Actually some of the old Amiga and Atari ST titles would be worth a look - heck, with the gear we've got you probably could fit 'em on a smartphone or tablet!

    It's not brilliant but the old Amiga game Sidewinder would be nice to re-acquaint myself with - game play was meh, but it had some really juicy explosion sound effects.

    Would love a PC version of some of Yak's titles - especially the light synths like TripATron.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    I wish someone would do a decent updated port of Sensible World Of Soccer, so I'm delighted toi see John Hare;s announcement. Just paid my £12....

    Sensible soccer was good, but World of got me through Uni and was probably the most sociable game I've ever known - we'd have game parties with 10+ people queuing to play in our Uni tournaments.

    I'd like to see a port of the Spectrum versions of Myth and Exolon.

    I love the idea of Turrican as a 3rd person, or even FPS.

    Re: QOTW: Which classic games should get a remake?

    I'm hoping GSC Game World will get to work on the second and third parts of the abandoned Heroes of Annihilated Empires triology once they release the inevitable cossacks and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sequals.

    Black and White and Creatures might be worth considering, the technology must be getting to the point where the Avatars/Norns can be a bit more characterful. Eidle eidle eee, eidle eidle eee.

    On the subject of Creatures, more Spore would be nice. They should have gone down the Egosoft or Paradox route and just kept adding more complexity and richness to the game.

    +1 to this. 0.75 to Vampire as the new DX games are pretty good

    Elite! Oh wait...

    But seriously Rainbow Islands and Bubble Bobble would be cool. IK+ again is a good shout. Paradroid not bad either. I loved Pinball Dreams et al on the Amiga

    Found a standalone installer from here might have to dust off the game with this mod:
    https://www.dx-revision.com/download/

    Oh never mind its still not for boxed editions...
    Without guarantee it could work for gog editions, but I think boxed editions are completely out of luck due to the requirement of the CD during play.

    Re: QOTW: Which classic games should get a remake?

    I believe a remake of System Shock is in development. System Shock 2 was the first FPS and RPG I ever played on the PC. Having not played the former, I look forward to the oportunity to play a better looking version.

    Re: QOTW: Which classic games should get a remake?

    I was thinking of doing a System Shock remake myself, now I read that it is being done

    So what else would I like to see ?

    Ultima series including Underworld
    Might and Magic series (3 was fantastic)
    Some of the old SSI adventures
    Command and Conquer (modern RTS are just too much of a race)
