The fact is nostalgia alone does not sell games, unless you were from Nintendo's first party line-up.
The legal hassle that takes to coordinate an old property to a new platform is pretty much hell.
Move on kids, it's time to let go, those were great games, but we live in an age of Yu-Gi-Ohs and Lizzie Maguaires (oh I hope for a misspell). Licenses sell, so I propose to do an art swap on all those old school games we all crave, stick a license and let the games begin.
So let's talk about Contra-Hamtaro (contra, guns and lovable hamsters).
What do we considered offensive?
Since the beginnings of libraries, there's been filtering going on. Books were banned, and there were complaints. Our system allows us to call foul. If some k00k comes in and cries that www.jugs4me.com isn't accessible, then by golly we should all stand up and clap, he's exercising for his freedom of information access. After we're done clapping tho, we can tell him that just like we don't have jugs4me magazine, access isn't allowed through the internet. He can then sue if he wishes.
The internet is just another extension to the library's functions, just like books, magazines, journals, videos, newspapers, microfiche etc. Now if my library has magazines on "Extreme Sports", then I expect the internet to be able to display www.silly-sports.com .
Just like we have standards for what magazines are appropiate to display, we should simply transfer them over to "internet policy". I feel people are making such a big deal over this, get over it and browse to where you wish to go. Block porn that's it, don't blame the software/hardware, just do it.
The library lacks pornographic materials, but if you look hard enough you can find some:) . Oh I remember my young artsy days looking for that book on female anatomy, for research madam.

Indeed RtCW is based on the Q3 Engine with its multiple exes.
Design and Scripting are the major points when going for Co-Op. It makes no difference to a programmer nowadays (we've got the processing power), all they want is a solid set of rules, how do you want the game to interact with the players?. Once you figure that out, it's cake (not really:).
