Games you would like to see *remastered*

[Crazy_Ivan80]

New Colonization was bad.  I loved the original but wow.  I forget exactly why because it did not take long to realize it was terrible.

you should play Col 2 with the Revolutions and Religions mod: whole new game.

I'd like to think the early Ultima games would cool to be remastered...but I dunno if you could really get the same feel of the original without screwing it all up.

They would have to be totally different games to work now.  I mean the whole plot was flipped when we learned in Ultima VI Mondain et al were heroes to the Gargoyles....or something like that.  My memory is hazy.  It was over 20 years ago, after all.

Wasn't there some kind of remake of Ultima IV being done?

Star control 1 and 2

Star Control 2 would still work great today.  That should absolutely be remade.

I am unlikely to ever fire it up again (it was not even mine, it was on my father's computer he is much more of a Civ freak than me) but if I do I hope I remember this thread.

The Wing Commander games.

[Zanza]

Jagged Alliance II
Tie Fighter
Theme Park/Theme Hospital
Transport Tycoon
Ascendancy

[Duque de Bragança]

Early entries in the Uncharted Waters series  (the "only popular in the Far East" MMORPG does not count).

PS: for Drakken

[Habbaku]

Uncharted Waters series (the Far East-only MMORPG does not count).

Anything similar to that would be awesome.

[Drakken]

Uncharted Waters series (the Far East-only MMORPG does not count).

First, it isn't Far-East only anymore.

Second, they are at the fifth iteration and it seems Tecmo-Koei has dumbed it down somewhat.

Now I'd fucking FAP in my pants if they made Nobunaga's Ambition Online fully available to Western audiences.

Seven Cities of Gold
Starflight
most of the early Sierra games (Police Quest series, Space Quest series)
Below the Root

Yes to Starflight!

Point taken, a bit more promotion would not hurt in the crowded MMORPG world. Not a great fan of MMORPG as well.
As for the series, I was thinking more of the first two, the only ones which got a western release.

Dungeon Keeper. I had lots of fun playing that, would love to see a decent remake for PC.

Jagged Alliance II
Tie Fighter
Theme Park/Theme Hospital
Transport Tycoon
Ascendancy

Jagged Alliance II has been re-done.  Agree about Ascendancy - way too cool a concept to die like it did.

I thought the graphics on Ascendancy were quite good, but the gameplay (despite many neat ideas) was lacking.  I don't think a remastering would make me want to play it again, it would take a bigger overhaul.

It was mostly the brain-dead AI, lack of queues and a couple other things. Easily solvable within a remastered edition.

Ascendancy would be my answer to the OP as well.

By the original post, remastering is considered:

Just to be clear - this is not asking for a full blown remake, just a pure graphic and sound "facelift".

If there's more that is allowed to be done then I agree.

Second TIE Fighter.

Also, in a similar genre, it's about time for a new general aviation flight simulator.  FSX is too old now, though the recent Steam re-release has been tweaked somewhat for optimal performance on modern hardware.  X-Plane is just too inaccessible for the casual user.
