Another vote for Road Rash. Such a fun game "back in the day."

+1 I've always been surprised Capcom never did anything more with this series, besides have some of its characters appear in other games (and then it's usually just Morrigan and Felicia). While not nearly as popular as Street Fighter, Darkstalkers does seem to have a decent fanbase, at least on the surface. I always thought an action/adventure game set in that universe would be interesting.

Re: Vintage Video Games You Would Like To See Make A Comeback?

I forgot about Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I picked that up on discount at a Kay Bee Toys for $5, that game was so much fun, although I never could be the Tremors level (around level 20).

Also, totally agreed about the Mutant League games, you won't catch me playing stuff like Madden or NHL, too complicated, but if they brought those back I'd be in right away.

Also, the Strike games (Jungle Strike, Desert Strike, etc) would be a ton of fun.

I agree with Jet Grind Radio, and I'd say anything made before 2000 is vintage N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, yeah...

Here's one... Kid Niki Radical Ninja. Anyone recall that, they could do a really cheesy downloadable sequel to that one that would be a blast.

Star Tropics!

Kid Nkiki was my jam. I ruled at that game.

I remember borrowing it repeatedly from a friend in the 80's. When I started collecting old NES games in the late 90's it was the first one I bought. I loved that game. I'm surprised you don't hear more about that one. There's something about those really early NES games that I'm very nostalgic about.

Re: Vintage Video Games You Would Like To See Make A Comeback?

I played through it again a few years ago on a ROM. Still a blast.

It also reminds me of Adventure Island. Loved the first one of those. Not sure I ever played any of the sequels.

Is Adventure Island the one with the kid and the skateboard? I remember that, I seem to always get it mixed up with Amagon.

I always loved the combo sport games like T&C Surf Designs on NES. Something like that could be fun as a downloadable title.

Then the obvious shouting from the rooftops at Nintendo: F-Zero & Waverace. Give me something other than 50 games set in the Mushroom Kingdom every generation.
Somehow I missed this one, I freaking loved Blast Corps and Wave Race. It's amazing the titles Nintendo let's slip by without a mention like F-Zero (since Gamecube), StarTropics, etc. There is so much they've done that is ripe for a sequel.

It was really difficult, but it was one of the few games that I simply wouldn't give up on as a child. Eventually I beat it, and that's why I have fond memories of it now.

Not sure if this is considered Vintage but I was addicted to Speedball 2100 on PS1

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ZzoGX9qKiT8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Would make for a great Downloadable title.

Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe from back in the early 90's was fantastic. Probably my favorite sports game, ever. The game had an HD remake a year or so ago, but I heard it was underwhelming.

Re: Vintage Video Games You Would Like To See Make A Comeback?

I'd love to see the Ultimate Play the Game titles again that I used to play on the Spectrum and the C64: Sabre Wulf and Knight Lore. I got my hopes up when they released Jet Pac on Xbox Arcade years ago (still brilliant fun) but nothing has happened since.
