I was just thinking about how much I missed The Magic Candle series. It was an oddly deep little RPG, once you got into it... and did away with the notion that the party had to be together all at once.

Also: Autoduel. That REALLY needs an updated version that goes beyond arcade twitch gameplay... I'm talking customized cars akin to the editor in Forza, missions for cash, reputation, arena... the whole thing.

Commander Keen! Preferrably all of it, but at least parts 1-5

Plenty of amiga games Id love to see.

Apparently, Alien Breed IS getting an XBL appearance.
I'd love to see the Turrican series and Chaos engine

My personal short list:
Wasteland
Airborne Ranger
Sword of the Samurai
Covert Action
Colonial Conquest
Wing Commander (Not the XBL version)

And a biggie:
Crusader: No Remorse

I'm shocked no one has said 'Wasteland' yet. Guess it is up to me then:

Wasteland

:p

Edit- I'm shocked nobody has said X-Com yet. Or is that not old enough?

I recommend downloading it on Steam then, after 15 minutes or so, shouting angrily at your monitor that all tactical games since have been only half as good.

It runs like molasses on my PC, which is frustrating, considering how nice my PC is.

Edit- The version from Steam, that is. I snapped it up when they put it up there. :)
