Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?

I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?

The ps2 gen had some great FPS games that were console exclusives since PC physical was dying, I wish I could play Black, urban Chaos Riot Response, Darkwatch, Timesplitters and Shadow Tower Abyss with a mouse and keyboard.

If you still have your game disk to rip you can use this to play it on pc.

I have an old pc with an i7-6700 cpu and older graphics card using a ps5 controller I bought from a pawn shop. Been playing OG God of war and Shadow of the Colossus on it. Plays just as good if not better than real ps2 hardware.

I would let you custom map keyboard keys to controller keys too

I know about that emulator, but the mouse functions like an analogue stick when mapped, feels so wrong that I played with a controller anyway.

I bought it for the TS2 port too, but ended up enjoying the main game anyway lol, was the urban far cry I expected 6 to be.
