    This is a great topic, playing video games is all I did during the 90's :)

    I'd like to see: Contra, Castlevania, Cruising USA, TMNT Arcade Game or Turtles in Time, Double Dragon 2, Ninja Gaiden, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, and Uniracers. I think Uniracers would work great with accelerometer.

    How about an actual port of the original diablo? Controls could work and the graphics could run smoother than silk on this device! I could never tear my eyes away from Diablo!

    Want some rye?

    I'd love to redo this for the iPhone. I don't think Activision would give me the rights.

    (I was the technical producer, did the UI and the game engine for this).

    Totally agree. In fact i wouldnt mind more of the old RPGs and adventuregames overall. Suikoden, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Vagrant Story, Vandal Hearts etc.

    Also the rest of the monkey island series. I loved the special ed they did on nr 1. Even though Guybrush's voice felt kinda dorky and i didnt like the animation to 100% but hey, enough with whine, its MI right! =) I remember i loved the second part in the series so Lucas Arts, please bring those now.

    It's a reference to Return to Zork. And no, you're not out of the loop. It's a fairly obscure reference. :)

    Now if you don't know what "maze of twisty passages, all alike" is about, we'll have to shoot you. :eek:
