Yeah, a lot of the newer generation wont know about these games and sometimes they wont even bother. That is why I think reworking a classic can work in itself. Profit wise it can generate cash from an already stable concept with just a few changes. It can also introduce people to go games again. On top of that it lets you actually FIX things in the game. Loads of games have awful glitches or sometimes things that don't work well. Redoing a classic can ammend thsat.

I'm not sure that it's possible to fix The Adventures of Bayou Billy if it was remade.

I have really fond memories of Mechwarrior 3, preferring it over MW4 & Black Knight, unfortunately for humanity I've figured out how to get it to run on an XP64 based system with a Quadro FX using a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold joystick ... I'm not sure any of the hardware & software involved is even remotely compatible ..... nevertheless it works.

So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.
