Game franchises that needs to be resurrected

[reagan]

i saw several above that i also agree with, but here's a few that weren't mentioned:

strider, dusty diamond's all-star softball, turrican.

You didn't see turrican in my post

aw, sorry friend. i do see it now. apologies.

the "Street Rod" franchise was pretty awesome as well
someone made "Street Rod 3", so I guess that's as good as it gets?

http://www.streetrod3.com/

apart from that, I'd love (read l.o.v.e) to see a continuation of Epyx "the Games" series
(i.e. Summer Games/Winter Games/California Games/World Games)

afaik there's 2 Summer Games + The Games - Summer Edition,
same goes for Winter Games
California Games has 1+2
and poor World Games only has 1 =/

also Track & Field series needs to be continued

Spy vs. Spy (yes, I do have the "new" version for Xbox1... *shudders*)

first: Spy vs. Spy
then: Spy vs. Spy 2 - Island Capers
then: Spy vs. Spy 3 - Arctic Antics
and (according to the ending of Spy vs. Spy 3) there "would" have been:
Spy vs. Spy 4 - Spies in Space

I'd love to see follow-ups of both International Karate series (1, 2 and +)
and Exploding Fist series (again; 1, 2 and +)

what made the "+" spin-offs so great was that there were 3 players on-screen at once
(that and the fact that those are the only fighting games I play =)

and then of course Barbarian 1 and 2 (Palace) - I've tried the remake and the Xbox1 "spin-off", but they kinda sucked

Shadow of the Beast series actually got rather interesting with the third installation; perhaps continuing on those as well?

The Bard's Tale series 1-3 (and Dragon Wars, which I'd call nr. 4) (yes I have the "The Bard's Tale for Xbox1 as well, but... has really nothing to do with the originals)

Eye of the Beholder/Lands of Lore series (Lands of Lore 2-3 wasn't really that great, but with new engines, etc. who knows what could be done?)

Ultima! (in the vein of 3-5 IMHO), although I love(d) VI and VII (and partly VIII), IX sucked pretty badly and I've never gotten into Ultima On-line (just no more spin-offs like Martian Dreams and Savage Empire)

perhaps Ultima Underworld 3? (I love Arx Fatalis, but it's *not* Ultima ^^)

sorry.. I've got heaps and heaps of games I'd like to see continued ^^

Shatterhand
Smash TV
Star Tropics
Strider
T&C Surf
Valis
Wurm

Maybe Shenmue 3 to tie up the story. I personally don't think there's a need to resurrect anything. If the fans care enough they can always off a Streets of Rage Remake or something similar.

And I'm sure any new Chrono game won't be all about CG porn

[Snickerd00dle]

Tomba as well now that I think of it

[Lord_Santa]

Out of This World

it *has* a sequel:

Heart of the Alien for MegaCD (SegaCD for Americans)

Funny because I did mention this to him in another topic I say the cinematic platformer has a real shot on the iPhone, but of course the pin-point accuracy required to solve the platforming puzzles will have to be toned down considerably.

Battle Chess
Illusion of Gaia
Kid Icarus

a closer look reveals that these also have sequels

Battle Chess sequels:

Battle Chess - Enhanced
Battle Chess 2 - Chinese Chess
Battle Chess 4000

Illusion of Gaia prequel and sequel:

Soul Blazer - Prequel
Terranigma - Sequel

Kid Icarus sequel:

Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters

but yes, Kid Icarus needs a new installment
