Retro Red Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Chaos Engine. A glorious steampunk setting, with a bunch of playable characters to choose from - Thug, Preacher, Mercenary, Gentleman, Navvie and Brigand. There was already a levelling up aspect, so it's perfect for a Borderlands-style remake. Â Played the absolute shit out of this on the Atari ST. Very few, if any games, have done steampunk better than that. Was it 4 player? My memory says "yes" but I might be confusing it with Alien Breed.... Â Bitmap Brothers were just the boss back then weren't they? So many quality titles, Chaos Engine, Speedball 2, Magic Pockets, Gods, Xenon II and Cadaver were all among my fondest ST/Amiga memories.

Retro Red Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Space Harrier. Â Bayonetta has a level which is basically a love letter to Space Harrier. Loved that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 In terms of franchises that need to be rebooted, I always wondered what a 3D version of Alex Kidd would be like. Â As for remakes, Shenmue would be nice, and if somebody could just clone the old Wrestlefest engine and release a beast of a retro WWE game for XBLA, it would please me greatly. Â However, I'd settle for Def Jam 2: Fight For NY and The Warriors working on my Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Not 3d, but still, It's incredible that I haven't played that game in about 15 years, but as I watch the clip I can still remember that level layout almost block for block. I didn't even like it that much, but it was built into my MS2, so it was the first game I ever played on a home console. I played the shit out of it.

mikey Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 AKiMW would be a game nobody would have played if it wasn't built into their Master System II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 27, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2012 I had and played (and completed, suck that losers!) Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle on the Mega drive. This thread prompted me to go have a read about it - I was surprised how much of it came back to me even though the thing I was reading had no pictures.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 That Alex Kidd remix video looks brilliant, like Arch I remember the levels block for block. Â I played a couple of Alex Kidd games for the Master System. The Lost Stars or something was shit. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, which I believe was just a reboot of Shinobi but with Alex Kidd, was class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Foale Posted February 27, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 I bloody loved Dino Crisis. It's really strange that there is no dinosaur gaming franchise currently, huge gap in the market there as far as I'm concerned. A Jurassic Park game set on the first island would be ideal. Â Anyway - a game I'd like to see remade would be The Unholy War for PS1. Had some really cool characters/monsters in that and I'd love to see what improvements they could do on it in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
