    no.

    Seriously though, think of some good ones. I can think of a bunch already.

    1. Legend of Zelda
    2. Zork and other text games from that period
    3. Pools of Radiance and the other SSI Dungeons and Dragons games from that period.
    4. Bards Tale.
    5. Dragon Warrior.
    6. King's Quest
    7. Ultima (the console ones that were more like Dragon Warrior 1)
    8. Command and Conquer (think about it, RTS turned MMO(not like it hasn't been done), plenty of factions, class types)
    9. Castlevania
    10. Faxanadu(took me a bit to remember this one, but I really liked it)

    lol no one can see the potentiol in Another World, Syndicate, or Chaos Engine?

    Your either too young or played the wrong games ;p

  • MMO.MaverickMMO.Maverick Member CommonPosts: 7,619

    Wow! That's some major hit of nostalgia! :D

     

    Isn't EVE Online something like Elite gone massively?

    Some others would be fun titles for MMO, agreed. Dungeon Keeper would be awesome, just as Syndicate (or Syndicate Wars).

    Also a Bard's Tale would be interesting as a MMO, or something like King's Quest

    Now, that is an old scool list I can get behind.

    well, as stated, it was a personal list so I guess these are 'good ones'.

    and, tbh, I purposefully avoided some of the cliched more popular ones that people always seem to ask for.

    Highlander

    Harry Potter

    Traveller (the pen and paper SciFi  role playing game)

    Underworld

    Star Trek (yeah I'm not counting that pos Cryptic game)

    Dune (for the love of God, how have they missed this?)

    Alien

    Chronicles of Narnia (not one I care for, but still)

    Starcraft

     Bards Tale for sure.

    I would say if you mixed up EVE with Jumpgate you would get Elite though?

    Would be great for the kids, or at least a new cash cowfor Rowling at any rate.

    Traveller (the pen and paper SciFi  role playing game)

    This is pretty much the Elite thing again tho? ;P

    Personally would like to see a Forgotten Realms, Shadowdale/Red Wizards, Malaugrym, and all that, Faerun essentially.  Basically a DND mmo, except nothing like the inadequate trash that is DND-O's "vision" of DND.

    I thought it was a joke because of the last one, Vanguard and the fact that I've only played Dungeon Keeper out of that list. Thought the rest was an ode to some computer that only 10 people bought that could only play those games listed. ;P

    Probably because it would pretty much be impossible to faithfully translate the IP to an MMO without butchering it in the process due to it's political nature... at least unless they'd be willing to try a non-mainstream title that can afford to NOT make combat it's main focus.
     
    Oh, and wasn't the Dungeon Keeper MMO already on the way, at least in conceptual phase?

    erm.. lol ok, maybe I should have signposted it more. Obviously VG was a joke though.

    I do think more then 10 people bought spectrums and amigas though, which most of these games were on.

    I understand what you meant now though, so it's all cool. When you said these wernt 'good', you actually meant 'I don't recognise them and cba to follow the links so I will just state the ones I played and know, claim they are 'good ones', and bluff it out...'  :P

    Kidding aside, I honestly didnt expect many here to know many of the games or to go for them. Like I said, I tried to avoid obvious 'trendy' ones in the main and go for something a little more interesting. :)

  • AmatheAmathe Member LegendaryPosts: 7,630

    I thought of another one.

     

    The Chonicles of Riddick
