Sequels We'd All Like To See

Posted by Zonk on from the i-am-looking-at-you-tie-fighter dept.

Voodoo Extreme has a feature up that's a wishlist for future sequels. They run down some great game franchises that have been off the board for a little while, and wonder out loud about the possibility of new installments. Besides the usual suspects for lists like this (StarCraft, TIE Fighter, Descent, Ultima), they touch on some cult favorites that are ... less likely to show up in modern gaming. From the article: "Planescape Torment 2: The Poop -- Loved by many a forumgoer is Planescape Torment, a Dungeons & Dragons-themed RPG set in the other planes of existence. It was a dark game with evil undertones, but also lighthearted and funny at times. Just think Baldur's Gate with an M rating. The Scoop -- Odds of a sequel are equal to or greater than Elvis coming home on the mothership." Any oldies you'd like to see back on modern systems? While I really like many of the ideas listed here, the LucasArts classics Grim Fandango and Maniac Mansion are the ones I'd most like to see rehashed.

    You must be confused, the game you're thinking of is Chex Quest

    They made another Leisure Suit Larry, but they did it without Al Lowe. Because of that, I refuse to play it.

    After all, in Spaceballs, we WERE promised "Spaceballs 2 - The Search for More Money".

    How many games out there gave us such great lines as:

    • "We're not doing it for the money ... we're doing it for a shitload of money!"
    • "Gee, sorry, it has a mind of its own!"
    • "Stop looking at my cans."
    • "Oh no. She's a drewish princess."
    • "1 2 3 4 5! Icredible! I have the same combination on my luggage."
    • "Why didn't somebody tell me my ass was so big?"
    • "Scotty beamed me twice last night."
    • "Check, please!!!"
    • "They've gone plaid!"
    • "They must be jamming our radar!" "Mmmm - raspberry. Only one person would dare give me the raspberry!"
    • "No sir, this is Mr. Coffee!"
    • "Sir, No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls!"
    • "I'm surrounded by assholes!"
    • "Are you chicken, colonel?"
    • "That makes us nothing, which is what you'll be soon."
    • "Selfdestruct in 10 seconds - 9 - 8 - 6 - " "hey what happend to 7?!?" "Just joking ... - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 Have a nice day!"
    • "Spaceballs? There goes the planet."
