bioware (without EA influence) should do some more Knights of the Old Republic or Remake them

I'd like to see that game remade.
Infiltrator? I didn't play the C64 version, but I remember playing a game similar to that on the NES.

I'd like to see 8 Eyes, Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode and Solstice all from NES remade. The hours I logged on those games. And keep the music from the original Solstice. That was awesome.

Of C64 games, Boulder Dash and Impossible Mission are ones that could still be fun and easy to recreate.

Racing destruction set - I know there is an online version, but a real new gen console version would be fun

Descent - fun multi player space game

Zork. With high-res HD fonts. Maybe throw in some fancy transitions like star wipes and fades.

I remember one mission was to hunt a Russian SSN and sink it before it got a shot at your own SSBN. You had a fleet of 2 or 3 frigates and a couple of LA Class 688i's.

Everytime I played that scenario the Russian played it differently. One time he went quiet, and would do quick sprints then drifts so he would pop in and pop out of my sonar, I eventually got lucky and my helcopter got him with a lucky sonar buoy drop.

Then the next time he basically popped up and attacked one of my frigates with a bunch of cruise missiles then went active and found my missile sub and killed it.

Great game.

Is this it? It seems only available in a bundle, any idea about the other games? My only experience with naval sims is Silent Hunter III and Aces of the Deep but a modern sim sounds cool. Getting classic games to run on Steam is pretty iffy though, I'm not sure I want to spend a few hours getting the thing working properly after paying all that money.

Yes that its, I had no problem running it in XP but I haven't tried it in 8 yet.

Be warned though the Jane series of games are incredibly indepth and accurate and do required a lot of attention to detail. they're really fun. But little mistakes will sink your fleet.

I didn't pay attention to air craft ranges and lost half of an alpha strike after they went past bingo fuel for example. I kept losing ships to subs because I didn't pay attention to the sea conditions.

Sub Command which comes with the pack is probably the best modern sub simulator that I've ever played. It even teaches you how to interpret the waterfall displays on the sonar station and you have to effectively know how your torpedos and towed sonar array works. You also need to figure out a effective search strategy, you can't just barrel into your search.

688 (i) was also very accurate it was a very indepth simulation of a 688i right down to manipulating your boats trim. It could also be fairly boring at times as your targets wouldn't present themselves, you'd literally be chasing a sonar ghost for hours.

If your going to buy it get the 4 software package because Dangerous Waters was very cool in that you could command a ship and all of its stations, then jump into a helicopter or a P3 to hunt for subs

None of these games have a arcade feel to them like other warfare games, I would class them as pretty hardcore.

This might not be the right thread for this, but when are they going to put out a cool good Star Wars first person shooter game. Something like COD but in the Star Wars universe. Good campaign, and great multiplayer maps. Surely there is enough content in the realm of Star Wars to accomplish this?
