Let me get super old school on your asses...

Some of my favorite games as a kid:
Asteroids
Centipede
Space Invaders
Venture
Some Karate game They would say "Full Point" or "Half Point" when you kicked the guy. Fun, but I forget the name
One-on-One
Kings Quest
Wizardry
Pitfall
Syndicate

And a few hundred more. I would like to see one of those again.

Oh, and one of my favorite old school games I would like to see make a comeback...

Road Rash :)

I've heard this is on the way.



Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Secret of Mana


I demand satisfaction!!!

Sadly, neither Square-Enix, nor Nintendo, negotiate with terrorists.

Therefore, we are left powerless.



Dear Nintendo,


I just heard Sony sayin' that you won't ever release a new Earthbound, because you are too stupid. Then they said "hahaha" and are still laughing, look at em over there.

Are you gonna take that? Thought not.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Megaman X - I'm ready for X on the Wii.
Kirby - That DS game was not the best; too short and easy.
Suikoden - The more RPG's, the better.
Capcom vs - Come on, Capcom! I love these games.
Dragon Quest RPG - give us a remake or something for the PS3.

All of the cool games come out for the DS. That's exactly why this generation of consoles suck. All we have to play on consoles is mostly overhyped bullshit.

The karate game is Karate Champ, arguably the game that started the whole 1-on-1 fighting genre. Would you really want to see it updated though? Points-based fighting games = not a lot of fun. I would much rather see an update of Yie Ar Kung Fu, although that's probably still just nostalgia.

Isn't Super Stardust HD basically an updated Asteroids clone? In any case, none of the games based on that format (Blasteroids etc.) ever really improved upon the original, so you're probably better sticking with that.

I believe there was a recent Space Invaders game for the PSP, but again it's a format that hasn't really improved over time.

Pitfall and Centipede have had their time. I can't see any reason to revisit those particular titles.

Syndicate? Now that's a different story! The original is still one of the best games ever made. I recently downloaded and played the American Revolt expansion pack for the first time. Damn is that game hard! They don't make 'em like that anymore! Syndicate Wars kinda sucked though. In an interview in 2006, Pete Molyneux said that Syndicate was the one franchise of his that he wanted to ressurect:

"Aside from the licensing complications, some sort of next-gen online version of Syndicate would certainly be popular with gamers."

Now that would be frickin' awesome! The licensing issue means it will probably never happen though.
