What computer games would you like to see remade? The games should primarily be adventure games or games with adventure like elements at least, though I considered posting in the general forum and allowing all games.
Some games I would like to see are the two Phantasmagoria games, but with added captions and maybe translation into other languages.

I think the World of Ultima series needs a more smart interface to be played by the modern audience! And with some minor graphic refining will be perfect!

I would like Zak McKraken remade with no dead-ends and full voice acting and original orchestral music score.

I can dream can't I?!?!

...and Maniac Mansion. Preferably with visuals matching DOTT.

Also, with DOTT being playable within Maniac Mansion!  :grin:

If you play Maniac Mansion from within DOTT while playing that from within the remastered Maniac Mansion, it causes a rift in the space-time continuum and we get a Star Trek episode with a guest appearance by Purple Tentacle.

Tunnels Of Doom, remade with a mouse and clickable GUI interface instead of the clunky menu system. That game was so good! Although we didn't have to, my mates and I always played it as a rogue-like (back before such a thing existed) where once a character died they were dead, no save-scumming. So much fun!

Also, Roadwar2000!!!

I also want to see a remastered edition of Zak McKracken with improved graphics, no dead ends and deaths and the bus being able to fly to and from the moon.

Weren't you involved with a Zak remake project at some point in the distant past?

If you could breathe new life into Maddog Williams, that would be really cool. I guess part of its charm is its dated indie spirit, but it had a cool premise and pacing and the puzzles were pretty good.

Another game that was great and could be given adventure elements was X-COM 2: Terror from the Deep. I think the setting of deep sea science/alien encounter gone wrong has really been underexplored and would be a cool backdrop to a slow buildup of bizarre discoveries. (Original is not adventure, though ~ sorry!)

I never completed it but I do have fond memories of Maddog Williams, games like that would be great subjects for remakes.

I was and I had a small team. But it just never worked out unfortunately.

The Ultima games would be good for remakes. The complete Ultima 7 and Ultima Underworld games are among my favorites. There was some work being done on a Savage Empire remake using the Exult engine, but I don't know the current status of it. It would be cool though if they were able to rip the graphics or sprites from the SNES port, though that may bring up some copyright issues.

I'd prefer the opposite, actually!

I guess I'd most like to see a demake of Quest for Glory V to match the styles of the VGA games.

Then again, I'd love to see remakes of that entire series with an HD treatment and non-cartoony hand-drawn art, but that's a pipe dream.

I was thinking the same thing: DotT in the style of the original Maniac Mansion!

A VGA or high resolution of the Hobbit text adventure would be cool, especially if it keeps the parser, but then also adds point and click functionality as well.
