The last three times we've assembled the Games That Should Be Remade feature, we've generally picked games that may have been forgotten but were at least pretty well known in their day. After all, that's usually what inspires a remake, right? You need to have an old favorite that a lot of people loved back in the day, because instant name recognition means a foot in the door with lots of consumers. Gamers get excited every time they hear a familiar name, like Final Fantasy or Metal Gear, so remakes of hugely popular games of the past are about as close to a sure thing as you can get.
Well, we decided that this time around we were going to plumb the depths of gaming history to come up with some lesser-known games that we loved, games that maybe aren't the ones you first think of when you think of classic gaming. If you're fairly new to gaming, some of these games might appear on platforms that you've never seen in person (or, dare we say, even heard of), but rest assured that they influenced our formative gaming years in a positive way, and we'd love to see them come around again.
As always, you can send us your comments, questions, hopes, and dreams by e-mailing us. Now, read on to see 10 little games that could (like the train, you know), games that we'd dearly love to see again some day soon. Publishers, are you paying attention?
