What Retro Games Would You Want Remade For Phones?

So SEGA is bringing some of their classics back to mobiles every two weeks. It’s a neat idea, and it begs the question. It’s not technically complicated to get games like Golden Axe or Sonic going on your phones, given how far they’ve come, so what else from your childhood would you like to return?

It’d take a bit of work, but I’d really love an old-school version of Gauntlet with some kind of multiplayer over local wireless. There’s not a great deal of controls required, so making it work on a touchscreen interface shouldn’t be too difficult.

Something I’d like to see reworked – although the interface could use a modern touch – is some of SSI’s old games. I’m thinking Fantasy General, Panzer General, and some of their space 4X epics as well. A lot of those hex-based strategy games could work quite nicely on tablets if you didn’t want to rework the UI. Hell, if it’s possible to make Imperium Galactica playable on a phone, surely someone can work out how to get Star General going.

So tell us, dammit. What retro games would you like to see given the mobile treatment? Zero points for mentioning Freelancer. Everyone wants that one day, right?
