Obscure Games that need a revival

Recommended Posts

I'm sure many people here remember old school games from their childhood, even some ones that your friends have never heard of you thought were good. I'd like to see what games you think need a comeback or a sequel. They have to be retro, but I'm sure there's plenty of games out there even I'm not familiar of that are awesome.

One of the hardest games ever, It saw you take on the role of Firebrand, a gargoyle who sets out to destroy Breager, who wishes to destroy his world. There's three games in this series already, and 2 and 3 are harder to find, but I don't feel the story was complete.

Probably the most underrated game on the SNES, I'd like to see a HD remix of this. Simple rails shooter that saw you move up and down mindlessly shooting crap. The game was only half an hour long, but so addictive and it had a great soundtrack.

It's a game where you mindlessly fight dinosaurs. It's unfortunately quite a shallow experience. If they added more moves and a bit more polish, this could be one of the best games ever.

I swear I'm the only one who ever played this game, but holy s***, I would be in heaven if they remade it. ( and it better have an equally kick ass sound track.)

You know what was an awesome game?
Future Cop LAPD.

'Effing epic, and I would love to see an LAPD [i]2[/i].

You know what?

I was going to say that. That was an awesome game. Especially in the 1v1 mode when you managed to get one of the epic units, not to mention the single player.

IIRC, Venice Beach (4th level?) was killer.

Sky Captain is a reincarnation of Sinistar.
The riot shield is broke, but hilarious.

I'm not sure. Think it was the K-9 level.

Anyhow, Future Cop is the manliest game ever. You play as a cop mecha transformer that shoots rockets, lazors and blows sh*t up. And since you're a mecha, you're naturally immune to Testosterone Poisoning.

Do I really have to be the one too say this, I understand there are alot of 'new' donkey kong games, but I want one remade like this.I still play this game, and it has a good play time too, at least 2 hours if your pro and beat all of the levels in like minimum time.

I want too see this remade the same game style, I hated Donkey Kong country 2 I find it apawling. I want this remade for any system like Wii, Xbox, Ps3, Computer what ever you want too, it is a EPIC game.

The freakin' minigun weapon you start off with is one of the [i]better[/i] standard weapons in that game.
Everyone knows miniguns are manly.

[/quote]:o How can you hate DKC2? The music, level design, gameplay, graphics and the ending were amazing. I love DKC1, but DKC2 will always hold a special place for me as the greatest 2D platformer ever.
