Neglected Classic Games That Deserve Remakes?

Thanks to GameSpot for its feature discussing neglected videogames that nonetheless deserve remakes. The "games that may have been forgotten but were at least pretty well known in their day" include Roadwar 2000 ("[an] innovative adventure set in the ruins of American civilization"), Biomotor Unitron ("an exceptional game... [that] had the poor luck of being released on the profoundly underappreciated NeoGeo Pocket Color in 1999"), and Xenophobe ("a lighthearted and memorable arcade game... [that] takes itself less seriously than the average alien shoot-'em-up.")

"Super Metroid (Nintendo) - With the popularity of Metroid recently, why hasn't this been given it's due re-issue?"

This article is about what classic games need to be remade - not reissued. The Metroid games have not been sitting idle on the shelf without any use, as Metroid Prime is clearly a remake of the traditional Metroid formula. I don't see your point in bringing this game up.

We're not talking about games that need to be reissued but rather old games that need to be updated and have games released for the latest hardware. Metroid Prime does just this for Super Metroid.
