Lucasarts made some great games.  I think Full Throttle was mentioned in this thread or the "Best Franchise" thread, but it's a terrible oversight if it wasn't.


Somewhere in a thread far far away...

Aw, hell yeah!  If I remember correctly, Dune 2 was the first city-building game with combat; before Warcraft, before CoC...  someone please correct me if I'm wrong.


Yup. Pretty close to the Godfather of strategy. Although I don't miss the, <Click Vehicle 1, Click Move, Click where To, Click Vehicle 2...> :p

I still have dreams about devastators and Sonic tanks and stepping on spice mines.

That reminds me of another uber space game. I just can't remember its name, though. You control a fleet of ships, upgrading it as you go through the game... A mothership or something.

HOMEWORLD.

There was a similar game, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.

Ogre Battle/Tactics.  It's languishing in Squeenix's "Vault of IPs that aren't Final Fantasy", and it deserves better.

Though having said that, it'd take something special to update it to current market/gameplay standards without going full retro.

I would love some solid graphical multiplayer version of Nethack, it would need to be as detailed and intricate however or it would just be another lame dungeon crawl as the billion clones which have come out. I still play that game and run for an ascension every time I get a new keyboard just to help get the keyboard into muscle memory.

I second the Pool of Radiance series being redone. Loved those games so much as a young adult.

It's actually quite cool if you're playing it for a first time... There're couple of stealth missions that are awful, apart from that game's solid. Well, the latest mission is quite disappointing, but mission before that is great. Couple of hours epic space battle with a lot of ships.

A few years ago I would have said Diablo, Gothic, Thief, and Deus Ex but I guess they were listening to my thoughts and made those happen.

Another Jedi Knight would be nice though.

Hell yeah.

Had a mall across the street from my high school.

The arcade in it closed to make way for a movie theater shortly after I finished high school.

Coincidence?

Only my grades can tell you for sure.

Didn't skip but played a lot after school.
We were playing two player warlock and the loser was paying for the coins.

Parasite Eve definitly.

I know FF is actually a money grab by now, but the original FFT was perfect, and I'd love to see more like those.

Wild Arms

Castlevania goes with FFT. We haven't seen any SotN like since the 3DS. SotN was great, and the GBA/NDS ones were pretty cool too.

Tired of this everything should go 3D thing. 3d graphics with 2d movement should work far better, a nice compromisse the latest Megaman X did.

Also I'm hopping might n.9 will be a good megaman spiritual sucessor

While we are on the subject of console RPGs.

Vagrant Story    Cheesy

Unique combat
Unique crafting system
Unique world and theme
Unique story

Always wanted a reboot of this or at the very least an upgrade to the original.

Wizardry -  I have fond memories of hex editing 7, but I played 8 more than the rest.

SSI Goldbox series.

XCOM - not impressed by the new one, might buy it on steam when 75% off.

Sword of Aragon - Not a franchise, but I wish it had been.
