I believe this will mostly affects games which were lacking in technology.

I'd personally LOVE to see The Sims 1 or The Sims 2 re-released with performance and resolution upgrades, and, most importantly, made to be open world. Since they're older, I believe they could very easily render the entire map like The Sims 3, but with the charm of TS1 or TS2.

I cannot think of other games, since most games I see as adequate, whereas TS1 and TS2 were bound by system performance during their respective times.

I enjoyed Spore, but really disappointed that despite having bought Dark Spore, I never played it before servers shutdown. Was so damned stupid it required them for single player.

Really? I heard it was pretty fun, but was it just a shallow experience or what? Was the gameplay at least good?

Wow, I never knew that existed despite playing a decent amount of Spore when it released. What a cool idea, but I guess likely horrible execution.
