What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done? (lemmy.ml)

I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.

I'd personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they're older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.

I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island

Stunt Island is a plane sim based around the concept of being a stunt pilot in the movie industry. You get specific instructions on how to fly what and where, and you need to pull it off.

My favorite mission was to fly a duck, drop an egg on the police car. Another one was landing a cessna on a street and pulling up to a burger joint.

Or if you didn't feel like completing these contracts, you could just grab whatever you wanted, and explore the island.

This was a lot of fun, probably a lot more if you bothered to figure out the scripting system. I just made movies where stuff blew up.

Stunt Island is likely also the first game where it was possible to do machinima.
