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.

Idk about hit, but decent success maybe? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers wouldn't be bad with a re-release that fixes the controls (gameplay is mainly a series of mini-games which the timing is off for making attempting completing them a rage inducing task) and the travel map areas redone to have actual purpose instead of "here's a zany spot with cyclical weather where you can throw stuff around to play with our gravity code". The story was pretty good/interesting imo as a Final Fantasy version of Cowboy Bebop.

Quarantine from 1994 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine_(video_game)

It's just fun vehicular carnage but I think with modern graphics and maybe an actual story, it could be a success today.

Not a remake but I think another addon for Diablo 2 would still be awesome.

I think Panzer Dragoon Saga, the JRPG. It was stuck on the doomed Saturn, but it's a really great game. Everyone go emulate it.

System shock

Metal arms:Glitch in the system. A game way ahead of its time in terms of mechanics and gameplay. A sequel would be fantastic as well.

Assuming it was done properly, the Impressions Games. Specifically Zeus+Poseidon.

I know that a Pharaoh remaster/remake was done recently but it sucks.

will EA be involved in this? in that case lets just leave everything as it is.

There was a game for Amiga and ST called Eco. It was a great concept and a terrible game really, too slow, too random, and eventually too easy when you knew the pattern. But it was a great concept, and something like it but with smaller genetic steps/algorithm generated body forms. Think an entire game based around the creature phase of Spore. Or, spore as it was originally marketed I guess! There's a couple of indies working on similar concepts at the moment, but nothing has quite 'clicked' for me yet.
