There are quite a few lesser known games that they have pointed out that really deserve a sequel, some that I really enjoyed are Geist, Urban Chaos:RR, and Blast Corp.

"We’d hate to see it die off just because Neversoft’s too busy cranking out nine Guitar Hero games a year." Lol.

I would love to see a sequel to Black. Imagine how awesome would that be if they made it for next-gen consoles.

They forgot battletanx, there is no better arcade tank game to this day.

Two games I'm glad I saw on there was Cel Damage and God Hand. I was addicted to Cel Damage and God Hand was a really fun beat-em-up.

Two games I wish I would've seen on there are:
1. Micro Maniacs for the PS1. The tv show was sub par, but the game was addictingly fun.
2. Rumble Racing for the PS2. Ever since PS2's stopped reading blue discs, I can't play it anymore :( it was really fun, making cars flip in any direction by holding R2 and going nuts with the left joystick. Along with upgradeable cars and a wide variety of tracks. Pure gold.

GamesRadar, you amaze me. Even my obsessive knowledge about old videogames has been put to shame by this list. Well done, you hit pretty much all of the ones that came to mind when I read the headline. Rawk on

Excuse me, sir, I think you are tainting my good name with your knock off of my knock off.


Also! Some additional games: Freelancer! X-Com! Alpha Centauri!

Yar's Revenge now that brings back some atari memories. A 123 list must of been time consuming and I loved the results.

What about sequels to team buddies and kagero?
Jedipimp0712  - 7 months 5 days ago 
i think that Republic Commando is a must. that game was what i played a lot before i got Halo 2. I think that with better game engines, they would be able to make a REALLY GOOD re-make of this. I also think that there should be a Battlefront 3 to compete with MAG. that would be the shit.

aw, comeon...no Doctor Muto on this list? i think the good doctor deserves another shape shifting adventure.

also, psyclops FTW!

Great list! Wish somebody would listen to you guys and at the very least make just a few of these happen.
Reading this made me want to go back and play a ton of these old gems.
