If you could see any THREE games have sequals made, what would they be, and what would they have over the original?

My 3:

1) NiGHTS! Possibly the most original game ever, the sequal would be longer, have a proper 2 player mode, and, to make it completely revolutionary, allow true 3d flight, and not put you on rails.

2) Mario Cart (SNES)- now, I know there was Mario Cart 64, but that was no where near as good as the SNES verions... tracks like rainbow road lost the plot of having no sides! I want to see a true sequal with the same style of gameplay, and more levels!

3) Starfox: The N64 version was merely a remake of the SNES one... I want a whole set of levels where you fly and shoot in an old school shooting Space Harrier style... Oh, and the new Rare version ASWELL!

Roms are not "bad"... that's a very simplistic view of the idea...

I disagree with ROMS that let you play games still on sale.

However, if ROMS can allow gamers to play games that are no longer on sale (eg 8bit games), then it can only be a good thing- the developers lose no money, gamers get to play classic games, and everyone is happy.

But so so tempting....

(and anyway, no-one manufactures Snes games now, so who loses out?)

Battle of Olympus.



Alex Kid.




And another NES game where you've got commands like
"push" "touch" "take" "Look" etc.
along the bottom and then magic scrolls and stuff up the side.

Then the game screen is in the middle and at the start you have to lift up this stone-skull to get a key into the castle.

At there's this bit where you go into a room where there's a dragon that breaths fire at you so you you have to grab something from the floor. There;s about 20 things there, but you have to take the sheild to stop the flames - then you can take everything else. Good puzzle that.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT'S CALLED?

In fact, Quazatron deserves a topic of it's own. I'll do one in the next week or so...

1. I think I would have to say Mario Kart would be a great game on the Purple Box! It is a great little racer, great fun and good with mates around.

2. Starfox would have to get a remake because it was so great on the SNES and never really made up for that in it's N64 outing. Starfox Adventures is looking good though. Very good in fact!

3. Donkey Kong Country was a classy game and it should get to be a new game on GC! The N64's Donkey Kong was great but it didn't have all the greatness of the SNES versions of Donkey Kong. Bring back Baby Kong I say! The big huge kong.

Nooooo! No more sequels!

Ah, alright then.

1) Quazatron (spectrum)
Nice graphics, more complicated part scavengin system, more waepons and equipment... perhaps a different battle interface too. Not that this means anything to you, as non of you have heard of it....

2) Bionic commando (nes)
Didn't you just love the extending arm? Let's have a 3D version. And please can it be a 3D platoformer, not a 3D adventure game.

3) NetStorm (PC)
The new version would have.... less bugs, slightly more balanced units... and that's about it. No other improvements are possible ;)
