Sweet Memories

Published on October 15, 2004 By historyishere In Console Games

I think anyone who's played a fair amount of games in the past 20 years remembers a few gems that they wish they would bring back again in a new form.

Here's a few games that I would like to play on a new console.

Super Dodge Ball: Now, I LOVED this game when I played it at the arcade, and I had it for the original NES.... I mean, it was good clean arcade action.... and I don't think I ever had as much raw fun since playing it. Someone has to buy this license and put out a new one. Seriously. And not in 3-D.... a good 2-D version is all we need.

Guardian Heroes: This Saturn title was in the tradition of games like Golden Axe, and it was so much fun... multiple paths to the last board, along with an ever-increasing stable of fighters you could employ throughout the game gave this one incredible replay value. With Sega being out of hardware, now would seem to be an excellent time to bring back this excellent and underated title for new audiences.

Shadowrun: In 1993, Data East put out this title for the SNES, and ever since I first played it, it has always stayed with me. Maybe it was the combination of action and role-playing elements, maybe it was the cyberpunk/amnesiac storyline... maybe it was the guns... but whatever it was, this 3/4 perspective game has always left me wanting more.... and I think now is the time to see another game like this made....

Now, I've told you all what I would like to see.... so now its your turn. What games would you like to play again?

Star Wars Rebellion
Master of Orion 2 (3 sucked and was in no way a worthy successor to the greatness of the series)

Guardian Heroes has come to Gameboy Advance in the form of Guardian Heroes Advance.

I am still waiting for Bitmap Brothers to remake Gods (Sega Megadrive) for the GBA. I loved that game and remembered it fondly.

Shadowrun is for sure something I woudl love o see adapted for newer systems, unfortunately, it probably won't happen.

He is another one, the one responsible for my RPGing, next to Final Fantasy: Faxanadu for the NES

Amitty: after talking about it... I hooked the SNES up again and started playing it again.

Ravenblack: That's fabulous news! and regarding Gods... I wonder if Mindscape still holds the publishing license for that francise...

Zoomba.... after how MOO3 did... I wonder if there will be a 4th....

I was just thinking about Super Dodge Ball the other day after watching my five year old play dodge ball at school. Man I need to find an NES and buy that cart.

I think the team I hated playing against most was the Indian one... because no matter what you hit them with, they'd lose like 1 or 2 life.... give me big, bad Iceland anyday....
