Games that deserved a sequel/remake?

Post by Roofus »

List some games here you wish hadn't been abandoned.

SimEarth. This game had loads of potential. It could have easily made it as far as SimCiity. It's a shame we never saw what this game could have been on todays hardware. Maxis definitely needs to develop this game again.

Uh, SimEarth was released. For the PC that is, I'm not sure if this is a 'console' thread or not.

I didn't mean games that you personally gave up on. I meant games that were realeased and were given up on by the companies. Like any one of the Sim games Maxis released in the early 90s, or Sierra quest games. That kind of thing. Maybe I should have called this "Games that deserved a sequel"

It was. You can post either. I just didn't mean games people gave up on.

I found the manual for that game in my basement, it was like 200 pages long :o, and to think all I used that game for was to smash asteroids into the land :P
