What extinct computer/video game would you like to see revived (produced and marketed again)?
I LOVED Sim Tower. I also loved Tropico and The Adventures of Lolo for Nintendo. What video/computer game would you like to see re-done and made available for sale again?

Its not a game but i’d like to see more Star wars!
There are a number of games which were ridiculously stupid but could be made over and made MUCH better.
Some very early Lucasfilm games such as Ballblazer, Rescue on Fractalus or some really good version of Master of Orion 2, which was and is playable – even today (some 18 years later). Some might suggest Spore, is in fact that game, but really it’s not, as others have said, Spore is more or less a mile wide and an inch deep. Basically I think a really high quality 4x type explore that galaxy type game that was as open-ended as technology allows, would be awesome to see.
I’d say Marathon, but you can get that for free now. For old school video games that you can’t get, I would either go with the text based adventure-type-games, or those old arcade games. Nethack is cool too, but you can get that (I can’t quite remember where).
Hey, if you want Marathon, though (it’s awesome, I highly recommend it), you can do this:
Download the latest version of AlephOne here: http://source.bungie.org/get/
AlephOne is the emulator for the games. It’s the middle set of boxes on the website, make sure to choose the correct one for your operating system.
Next, download Marathon from the same place. It’s the first box, the one with the word "Marathon" on it.
After that, you’ll need to unzip both of the files you’ve downloaded. Then duplicate the AlephOne application and put it in the "Marathon" file. Finally, open AlephOne (the one in the marathon file) and start playing.
You may want to check the controls in the preferences before you start playing. I set move forward to ‘w’ backward to ‘s’ sidestep left and right to ‘a’ and ‘d’ and trigger with the mouse button and 2nd trigger with the left mouse button. Make sure to turn on mouse control, unless you have a laptop and want to play with only the keyboard. Also, set the graphics to full screen mode, and a higher resolution.
Also, there are other scenarios (like the second and third marathon, durandal and infinity) that you can download and put the alephone app into. You may want to try some of these.
And there ya go. Have fun! If you have trouble, there should be places online that tell you how to do it.
