Tenlo, I thought the same, I played the crap out of the Dizzy games on the Spectrum (my first gaming addiction I believe). I fear that if someone were to do a reboot though it would get terribly mishandled. I do however hear that the Oliver twins are interested in doing a modernised entry into the series, they are just concerned about development time and cost.

I told myself that if Legacy of Kain wasn't on this list, I'd stop reading this site forever. You done us proud, kids.

Killer Instinct Gold was the first game i bought for N64. I even bought it before I had a console. This was based on the fact that the original KI was great. Unfortunately, Gold sucked massive donkey balls

I hope they DO end up bringing back the TIE/X-Wing series (esepcially to the Xbox 360) because then I'd have another reason to keep my Rebel pilot outfit =)

I'm surprised no-one mentioned Dizzy. I know its an ancient series now, but surely there must be someone out there who'd give a reboot to that loveable egg with boxing gloves!
