Wizards Of War. It was this old Commodore 64 computer game where you had to dart about different little mazes fighting poorly animated monsters and wizards and the further through the game you got the faster they would move. They ought to do a Halo-style remake and then a subsequent sequel to this 'cause I loved it when I was 7.

Also, there was this game called Street Surfer on the same crummy system and you had to grab bottles of soda out of moving cars while riding a skateboard. You then have to drink the soda and aim for a trash can with the bottle. Thrilling stuff.

GOD!
WORST FIGHTING GAME EVER!

And there was a part 2.

My votes;

Eternal Darkness; Because the ending sets up a possible sequel. And it was a true survial horror game. (High on horror.)

Splatterhouse; The first video game to eve rhave violence/gore. It deserves a remake.. I would love to paly Rick in a 3d Splatterhouse game.

Sparkster; He was Konami's animal mascot. And he could fly with a jet pack! He ruled!

Eternal Darkness, hands down. Playing as each character in their chapter is still the coolest concept I've
ever seen on a console. The plot was gripping and the game built tension continually. It is the only horror
game that gave me the willies.

BTW: How could you petition a company for a sequel?

I LOVE that game.. it's so b-movie melodramatic in the reactions of some of the characters.

I love the battle system.. because it made you pay attention to what you were doing.

I love that they TALKED during the FMVs.

I love the Early warning system for random encounters.

THe only real issues I had were that you got hte Yellow Dragoon stone too late and not enough wandering to build up your characters.

They only things I would change would make it more free roaming.

I admit it has two sequels. And the other two are merely remakes of the first game/ alteration.

But it deserves a modern verison. As it is a Obscure game in my opinion.

Draconomicon: I agree. I playe dit for Genesis, and it was a awesome game.

It only got a Play Station remake, stinks compared to orignal.

But the concept was cool.

Coolest game to master of Monsters these days: Brigadine. Playstation game. RPG/ Startgery. Not in same world that is in MOM. But it has a cool plot, and you have armies of monsters/mininos duknig it out like in mOM.

Plus you get to pick which side your on. And there are leader characters. (Further RPG element.)

Oh God, there are LOADS of games that need sequals.

Saboteur & Saboteur II. Love to see these done in a Splinter Cell style.

Turbo Esprit. Again, love to see this done now that GTA is the big thing. It was really the first GTA sort of game, so an update would be cool.

Midwinter. This game took months of my life. Another sequal would be great.

OK, so X-wing had Tie fighter and X-wing alliance. Bout time for some more TIE blasting fun methinks.

Jet Set Willy 3D. You know it makes sense.

Lords of Midnight needs another sequal as well.

I'm really getting bored of some of the genres of games out there. Developers need to take a few more risks and delve through some of the back catalogues to get some fresh ideas, cos most of the stuff thats out there at the moment is really stale.

Splatterhouse; The first video game to eve rhave violence/gore. It deserves a remake.. I would love to paly Rick in a 3d Splatterhouse game.

At the very least, Chiller beats it by a couple of years.

Oh, and Strider. I'm not sure exactly how it would work, but could you imagine how trippy Strider's perspective-warping gameplay would be in 3D? And yes, I know it had both an arcade and a home system sequel, but those were both rediculously obscure, and neither were any good.

I played it and enjoyed it. The idea of just one monster through the whole game made an interesting alternative to Resident Evil and the rest.

BTW, apparently there was a sequel (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/data/198247.html). I'd never heard of it though.

Robot Alchemic Drive, for sure. The control scheme and mechanics of fist-to-face oldschool robot melee was the best I've ever seen. Just get a better story, better voice actors, a bit more variety in the robots, better graphics... basically, polish it up from a solid 7/10 cult hit to a 9/10 genre-buster.

You do know that Treasure made one for the GBA, right?

Anyways, for my choice:

Battle Engine Aquilia is a first-person mecha simulator where you play as a giant walker that can fight on the ground or in the air. Unlike a lot of similar games, BEA makes sure to stress that in many of the battles, you are one part of an entire army, albeit a very powerful part. You will enter many battlefields with an entire strike force at your back, and the success or failure of the mission can be as much a matter of their survival as it is yours. It's kind of like seeing an RTS game through the eyes of your army's super unit(Like the Baneblade in Dawn of War: Winter Assault). Rather than just blasting everything that moves, you'll find yourself targeting artillery to give your tanks a break, wiping out anti-air turrets to open the way for bombing runs, or blowing up enemy factories to shut down flanking attacks. The army isn't just there to provide one huge-ass escout mission, however. They can often take care of themselves, although maybe not quite as much as you may hope. Even so, the feeling you get when you fight your way into an enemy base, face down the boss, and nearly get your butt kicked, only to have the entire force come rushing over a ridge and save your ass(this happened to me once) is a wonderful thing.

The game takes the time to ensure that there are a great many units on both sides of the conflict. Flying and naval transports, infantry, light or heavy hovertanks, commandos, fightes, bombers, walkers, battleships, and some very nasty boss battles to top it all off. As you complete the game, you also unlock full dossiers on the characters in the game, your Battle Engines, and every single unit in the game, from friendly infantrymen to the bosses. It was certainly a nice touch, and goes a long way towards fleshing out the world you're fighting for.

Naturally, the game isn't perfect. The graphics are unpolished, story is minimal, but servicable, you die instantly if your engine falls/walks into water(which makes battles over the ocean particularly harrowing), and the Battle Engines you can play as aren't very well balanced. But the gameplay is solid, and if you find it too easy, you can unlock EVO versions of many missions that make it much harder. Battle Engine Aquilia is a must-try for metalheads everywhere.

Flashback

There actually was a sequel to this game for the PS1 called Fade to Black. It wasn't very good. Flashback definately deserves a much better sequel.

Gunstar Heros

Your prayers are answered. Pick up Gunstar Super Heroes for the GBA today. Fun game. I'm looking to pick up Gunstar Heroes for the Genesis because of it.

My submissions of games needing sequels:

Beyond Good and Evil
Shenmue (they really need to finish this story)
Skies of Arcadia

I'd also like to see a Shining Force sequel for the current generation of systems that returns to the beloved strategy RPG format that I so loved on my Genesis and Sega CD. Fun as Tears and Neo are, it isn't the same.

This is definately my surprise game of the year. I can't believe how much fun this is. There is even a nice unlockable bonus where they created a Double Dragon clone called Armies of the Night, featuring Ajax and Swan.

Kid Icarus! Come on, that's like the only Nintendo character to never ghet a sequel. It was a fun game too. At least give the guy a Smash bros apperance or something.

Splatterhouse. This was a gorey game before gorey games existed. Like Friday the 13th vs H.P. Lovecraft's Night of the Living Dead. great stuff.

Eternal Darkness: Several people have mentioned it already.

Time Killers: I always liked this one. A fighting game were you controll people from various time periods adn you can actually hack of their lims in the middle of a fight and they'll keep going.

Battle Engine Aquila was a terrible game. No self-respecting mech-fan should play it. Hell, the Xbox ripoff of it called "GunMetal" was a better game than it.

I never said it was perfect(Lord knows it has it's flaws), but it was fun, and had a lot of potential, even if Lost Toys couldn't bring it all out.

Basically they dumbed it down:

The environments lack atmosphere (why is there like 2 people in Seattle?)

The characters lack character ("Name's Alex D")

The plot lacks passion (the first Deus Ex was awesome in this respect. We were always 10 minutes away from armageddon, with the nanite plagues, nuclear weapons, shadowy groups seeking controll etc. In Invisible War we get a rather half baked "conspiriacy")

The weapons were crap! They all used the same ammo as each other. They all felt like I was firing a super-soaker.

It wasn't as open ended as the original (remember Hong Kong and Hell's Kitchen?)

The endings are poo! (especially compared to "I...I....WE! ARE! ONE!")

Eternal Champions for the Genesis

Etherlords 2.
I think, I am the only one who actually knows this game, and I love it.
Its a bit like MtG (the real cardgame, not the horrible PC game), with you drawing random cards of your deck of several themes (etheral, nature, machine, fire, air) and fighting it out.
I just replay it and its still a great game. I'd love to see a etherlords 3

Anachronox. Man, was this underrated (although I think being in development limbo does that), but damn was it great fun. I'd love to see this game expanded, with modern streamlining. And the game kinda alludes to a sequel too.

Beyond Good and Evil deserves a sequel, too. Again, the game was great and alludes to a sequel, but nooo, don't buy it. Stupid consumers.

I'd like to see a sequel to Actraiser, more in line with 1 than 2 (ie, with the god simulation mode, although 2 did have some rockin' action).

Yes... Exactly!!!!!!!! The original's plot was so involving and immersive that I had to leave my room and go outside to make sure there wasn't anyone out there. Freaked me right out. And I learned a lot. All the conspiracy theories in this game were based on real world theories, including Echelon, which I found out later... REALLY EXISTS!!! And has been used in movies and books for years. Now I tend to be really careful what I say on the phone or intertron for fear of... Wait! What was that? Shhh. They can hear you.

Also, they utilize the Knights Templar, The Illuminati, grey aliens, Area 51, nanites, etc etc, in a realistic fashion. I also liked all the weapon mods and stuff, and how you had to reeealy think about what's going on. I did a lot of saving in this game.

It's was basically the same game. With a few alterations.

If you count the hidden unlockables, it had 12 new characters. That's more than some fighting game sequels. I'd say it counts as a sequel.

Too bad the planned Saturn sequle fell through.

We can always hope they'll do a new version, probably on the next gen consoles since it's probably a bit late for the current gen.

The over the top action of EC made a nice alternative to the Virtua Fighter series.

1. SimTown. Yes, this was a kid's game from the mid 1990s, but I like the idea of building a small town instead of a huge metropolis. Many elements of this game were folded into The Sims and Maxis even tried to make a follow-up called Simsville, though it was canned in development.

2. SimTower. One of my favorite games. Designer Yoot Saito released a spiritual sequel called Yoot Tower, but Sega barely supported the release and the game offered few upgrades from the original. I'd love to see SimTower in full 3d with more features.

3. Conquest: Frontier Wars. A cross between Starcraft and Homeworld, CFW was a great little RTS game. The best part were the wormholes that linked multiple sectors together, allowing you to manage several bases at once.

4. Command and Conquer: Rennegade. The first FPS game set in the famous C&C universe. This game had SOOO much potential, but it ultimately turned out to be a mediocre FPS. Although it did have many elements that were ahead of its time, such as missions involving multiple NPC allies (a feature which took off with the Call of Duty series) and multiplayer modes that combined RTS elements like manufacturing and resource gathering.

Seconded; and thankfully they actually are making a sequel called 'Conquest 2: The Vyrium Uprising'

I add Freespace 2 and System Shock 2 as obscure games that deserve sequels, or rather endings in this case; they both ended with cliffhangers and were never continued dispite both being awesome games IMO.

Guardian heroes.
Panzer dragoon saga.
Snatcher.
Dragon force.

And real sequels not some half assed reimaging like they normally do.

Psi-Opps

It was a good game and had a big cliffhanger ending so it would be nice to see them make another. The company was going to make a Psi-Opps movie but I guess that never got off the ground.

Sparkster? You mean Rocket Knight Adventues? Awesome platformer! Great music, too. I'd play a sequel.

Hey anyone remember Greendog,Beyond Oasis or the Bonk! series?

All awesome games! There was a sequel to Beyond Oasis for the Saturn called Legend of Oasis, but I'd love to see this series revived in the 3D gen.

I'd also like to see more Panzer Dragoon games, as well as a NiGHTS sequel. And a sequel to Tempo for the 32X. Sega kinda owns this thread.

Earth Worm Jim did have a sequel. It was on the SNES called "Earth Worm Jim 2" it was much better than the 1st one.

I would love to see a sequel to Terranigma, Freelancer, and Dual Orb.

The Power Stone franchise needs a sequel that meshes the multiplayer goodness of the second one with the great single player mode of the first one. Valgas >>> Dr. Erode.

There was a Japan only sequel for PS2. Said to be a terrible game.

Tecmo Deception

2 sequels came out on PS1 and Trapt was on PS2.

Earth Worm Jim

EJ 3D on N64 was the last game.

Grand Theft Auto on the PS2. Its a shame not many people played this game. I'd really like to see a sequel. Even if its the same game, in new locales/characters/story, that would be enough. Too bad, I don't think sales warranted it though. :(

From what I know, you set up traps in a castle to attack intruders.

I saw in a magazine that Earthworm Jim is coming to PSP so those that wanted a sequel will get it.

EWJ 3D was a huge disapointment. Only play that game if you are a huge fan of the EWJ character. It completley deviates from the previous games. And the boss fights (if you want to call them fights) suck massive Whale balls. And I don't even know if Whales have balls, but if they did, EWJ 3D boss fights would suck that much.

Not a horrible game(imo, some rate it as utter garbage), just not good enough for EWJ.

*LOL* Llamatron... I have to admit that I hadn't heard about this game before. I did some checking, though, and I found out that it is ridiculous (c'mon, LLAMAtron? Where did this guy get that from?). And most surprisingly, it seems to be a game worthy of playing for a while.

Well it's either Llamatron or in my opinion the inferior sequel Revenge of the Mutant Camels that needs an update!

They were both shareware games that were freely available in the early 90's so you can probably find them somewhere out there!

As for Mr Minter's ideas - I seem to remember him living on a farm in Wales - not much there but sheep really so I guess that sums it up...

Yeah, I found it available for download at classicgaming.com (http://www.classicgaming.com). It's a freeware now.

EDIT: As for this guys ideas, yeah, it's clear that he kinda likes animals. Perhaps he got tired of seeing sheep?

What's Deception all about?

In the orignal one, you were a Prince who wlel got framed for a mruder, and you get saved form your excution.

By the Forces of The Devil.

So in turn you got to go inot he castle a sonly safe shelter for you, kill the guy who is currently runnnig the castle and then you get to wlel take over.

The thing i liekd about it was how demented the plto get based on your actions.

ANd I found out it got "Remade" for the PS2, but wlel not over here but overseas.

There was a BB2: Only ting I ahted about two was the "Getting Secret' characters systme was tedious, a s everyone has a amster weapon n d figuring out there,s, so they would not did was a hassle.

But, I do enjoy the fighting system as it wa suber realstic. (Why i gues snot popular.)

And th e differences ebtween BB1 and 2?

2: More weapons, linear level scheme, mroe people, and now yo uhad to fight a horde of ninjas/generic enemies befor ethe main bad.

Though I got to say the Godo gy's final boss fight w a signeuis. (Dude had on armor everywhere, and only way to stirke him was from behind a sthat's the weak point.)

Thanx for the info. It's a pity that many of the japanese games don't get ported for the american market. The perfect example for this would be Super Robot Wars.

The problem with bringing SRW over to America is the sheer number of licenses needed. Though Atlus did bring out SRW: Original Generation for GBA over, it was the version with Bandai's own (meaning not licensed) created robots.

SRW Alpha & Alpha Gaiden were pretty cool games though.

Eh ? The deception series have spawn a couple of sequels - the original , Kagero : Deception II & Deception III for PS1 & "Trapt" for PS2 - actually a sequel to the 2nd game as they are from the same world (you even had to defeat the "heroine" from the 2nd game in a side mission) , Deception III had a different storyline.
I thought all had been imported for the european markets with english subtitles.
I have all of them , loved the games , my favorite trap to use is always iron ball on the staircase especially if it's a narrow one.

If only Banpresto decided to open offices in America, that problem would be solved.

SRW Alpha... Is there a, um, patched version with subtitles?

You really thought I didn't know that? Sorry, I forgot to put BB2 as well. That's why I put franchise instead of sequel.

I just played Alpha in Japanese. Didn't understand a thing but it was still fun though I think you have to be a fan of the characters for it to be entertaining.

Is that so? Seeing as it is the same company and all. I thought they have the rights of the characters for a period of time.

Yeah, I hear you. I played a SRW game for the GBA in Japanese. Entertaining, yes. But to a certain extent. Damn, I have to learn japanese.
