I'm more into Demakes than Remakes myself...
When I'm done with my Indy project I'd love to demake QFGV or Blade Runner.

pub master quest! :] i wish i could up date the art style & fix all the bug in the game...i would need some serious help with that game humph* ('.')

Lure Of The Temptress by Revolution   ;D

But is there any game that you don't want to see remade? For me, it would have to be the first two Broken Sword games. There's a timeless quality to those games and it would be destroyed if they were to implement HD visuals or any kind of polygonal models in there. There's a certain charm to the hand drawn sprites and visuals that, in all honesty, can't be replicated in 3D or in that kind of photoshop way like in the recent Monkey Island special edition.

Police quest 1-3! Especially 2.

SCI versions felt even worse than first game.

Dunno why, never liked SCI.
16 colors on AGI felt retro, on higher SCI resolution just ugly. When 256 colors came, games got pretty, but then control started showing its age...
Also, PQIII was badly done. It wasn't the graphics, but simply horrible gameplay.

Blue Force, similar game also by Jim Walls had pretty much same graphics, but ended up times more enjoyable, because I didn't have to wrestle game (rules) itself so much and could concentrate on story. Nor trip endless screens of nothing useful.

Recently bought "Star Trek, Final Unity", but the game runs sssooo sssllllooowww that I think it definitely needs to be remade for newer systems.

All AGS games in hi res 3D with complex physics and collision detection where not needed, as well as the possibility to kill every single character and throw the corpses around rag doll style!

Especially the Oceanspirit Dennis games desperately need such treatment!

I'd like to see a remake of, well, my recent number one game Unfolding Spider, and for one reason only- the graphics. Not to offend the author, I don't think the graphics are most important part of an adventure game but in this case, when the game is an almost dreamlike journey through memories and a world of imagination, this would actually be a great opportunity to show some beautiful strange art.

  I even started myself- did one background so far... maybe I'll finish it someday, if Discordance won't mind?

Dualnames

I had the same feeling. I think the art is stylish and all, but i believe this game would be complete with fantastic art to accompany it.
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

I'd love to see a remake of The Longest Journey. It deserves much better graphics.

I would be really interested to see a LucasArts-style remake of one of those old 1980s text adventures like Boggit, Bored of the rings, Color of Magic, Quest for the Golden Eggcup, Robin of Sherlock, the Big Sleaze, Hareraiser, Quest for the Holy Joystick, etc. Or maybe a remake of some modern IF like Blue Chairs.

I'd also really love to see Bubsy the Bobcat: Rip van Bubsy remade in the style of those 90s LucasArts-ish adventures like Orion Burger, Igor: Objective Uikokahonia or UFOs. In fact, I love Thecatamites' unique style, but I feel that such a brilliant deconstruction of classic adventure devices deserves to look and feel like a classic adventure.

But better than the Secret of Monkey Island "special editions".

Also, Tim Allen should voice Zak.


I think a remake of Revolution's Lure of the Temptress could be really interesting too.

Also, not an adventure game but Taipan (Speccy version y Ocean) would be really cool too.

Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder maybe.

Oh, and a fairly obscure C16 game called Millionaire.

the "Eye of the Beholder" series would be cool for a remake, would the game be first person like Morrowind and "Neverwinter Nights" or would it be like "Baldur's Gate" and "Icewind Dale"?

Also agree that I would love to see Boggit or "Bored of the Rings" remade. That may be something that a fan can do, but not sure which engine would be best for the remake. While I'm familiar with "World Builder" it's only in black and white graphics which would be a step down from EGA, Adrift 5 has graphical support and the newer version 5 is free to download so that might work. Not sure what support for graphics other IF authoring systems have to offer.

I was definitely thinking first-person RPG.  I find them much more immersive.
