lol japanese adventure game =! shenmue, sorry. yakuza 3 will only be a true shenmue game if it's painfully boring and bankrupts sega.

if we're just talking about lost games that we'd love to see sequels to, I'll say again: Master of Magic. Civ + spells = badass.

Yeah, a new MoM would be dope - incorporate all the advances in turn-based combat since then, further possibilities for customization of spells/heroes etc...could be really great.

as in nominate again
love love love Master of Magic
like it's a 15 year old game but I'd rather play it than just about anything else. LIke, I wonder why I buy anything new at all when there so many great old games. Constant revolutionizing of production: fuck that.

Yeah, I guess it doesn't even need as much tweaking as I suggest upthread. I'd be happy with it just running consistently without weird glitches and crashes. I think I bought my copy for like $6 from a Best Buy cheapie bin in the late 90s, what a steal. (Better: that like $20 package where you could get the COMPLETE Ultima VII - both games, with their add-ons. Unbelievable.)

In DosBox on my Mac it's run wonderfully. Maybe you should try downloading the patched version online? I've read that the initial version was pretty buggy but I think I didn't get this until the patched version was released (in 1995). I remember worrying about whether it would run in Windows 95, and having to tweak the app's settings to get it to work right. (You have to do the same in DosBox now, kicking up the # of cycles the window is permitted to emulated, o/w it runs very slowly).
But I have Fang! And Warrax! And they're leveling! I'm holding off on winning this game just to get Fang up to the point where he can crush a great wyrm in a single hit.

This is my stock answer for this kind of thread on every video game board/thread, and I may have already mentioned it on ILX before but it's RIGHT dammit so I'm going to do it again.
Rocket Jockey.
Does no one else remember this? Retro-50s PC "sports" game with guys strapped to rocket engines that you could barely steer and had to turn by firing grappling cables at poles and releasing them? It was GLORIOUS, with racing, soccer, and best of all "war" where you were just tossed into a ring filled with mines and poles to string cables from to try and clothesline your oppenents off their rockets. It had a soundtrack by Dick Dale! I am firmly convinced that an HD remake of this on XBLA/PSN/Steam/whatever would be the the best possible thing that could ever happen.

Um, on every video game board. Whatever. No sleep, can't write.
Still: ROCKETS. SURF MUSIC. YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.

reviving just to say that El Tomboto's remark about Arctic Fox upthread has me in stitches tonight, for some reason.

xp forks, there's a wiiware reboot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSbslfm3aoE
― thomasintrouble, Saturday, 18 February 2012 01:42 (twelve years ago) link
Shiiiiit, I'd like to play that. Blaster Master is a great candidate for a reboot because the basic concept is AWESOME but the actual game lets it down by being too fucking hard in this old-school way where I only saw like three levels of it, and not for lack of trying.

same here, i liked it a lot but could never get very far. for those that did - did it kind of have a metrovania feel where you would gradually unlock new abilities and areas of the map, or was it more linear?
― tmi but (Z S), Saturday, 18 February 2012 05:37 (twelve years ago) link
neat; cosine on the metroidvania vibewish i could bring myself to play the wii but my eyes have adjusted to HD to the point where I can't play standard def anymore/first world gamer problems
