2 Games I Want Re-Released….
Over the years I have played many games but there is a select few I would love to see re-released. Mainly because the games can be expanded on to multiplayer action and basically because some, for their time were brilliant.
These are in no specific order but just as they shoot into my mind, so lets get started.
Game Number 1:

Tomcat Alley – this was one of the better Sega MegaCD titles, I had both MegaCD’s and thought that it was a great edition to the Sega Megadrive the intro was nearly 5 minutes long and made for a great game, especially considering the Playstation and XBOX consoles weren’t released at this point. The game took place in a full screen, full motion video, first-person perspective, and the player had to move quickly to launch missiles at enemy aircraft. It’s like HAWX but before HAWX was thought of….
The storyline was rather simple, you play as a Navy Pilot who had to bring peace and stability to the world after the cash-poor former Soviet Union sold off some of its military equipment to an unfriendly government.
Game Number 2:
The next classic game is one that has been released a few times but I feel needs some next-gen console boost and it is….ROBOCOP!
The game has been on many platforms from ZX Spectrum to PC and with the films being redone this would be great. The films were original set for tis year but appears to have been put back to 2013. Aslong as it
stays away from looking too much like APB or Crackdown 2. I am not sure how the game would work but I only write about them not design them
however this is what I would like to see in a RoboCop game.
I would love to see players fight crime in a similar pattern to APB you are either a cop or the bad guys but with the chance to switch sides, almost like the Paragon and Renegade actions of Mass Effect 2. Could you imagine if RoboCop turned bad guy for a change fighting against the law abiding RoboCops. I am sure things like this would hit off great especially as the films are being remade to an audience who is new to all things “Murphy”. The films were a great success in the late 80′s which even made it to the small screen with RoboCop TV Show. The last game release for RoboCop was in 2002 on the XBOX/PS2/GBA/GC but in all honesty, it didn’t look that great and didn’t hit it off with sales that good neither. RoboCop has been seen on the following over the years:
- Arcade
- Atari ST
- Game Boy
- Amiga
- Commodore 64
- Apple II
- IBM PC compatible with MS DOS
- MSX
- NES
- ZX Spectrum
- Amstrad CPC,
- TRS-80 CoCo
