Games That Deserve Sequels (16 bit or older)

For the first time in a few years, I plugged in the NES. Surprised it still worked! I've spent the last four nights playing my old games. One I forgot about was Ikari Warriors. For a simple old shooter(?), this game has so many good replays. Not to mention, part of the attraction was that incredible cheat code, that until just a night ago I was not able to master!

The characters themselves were perfect for the nineteen eighties, everyone loved America and Rambo! I would play it back then and think to my little self, "Weee I’m John Rambo!” While dropping the controller to chase my kitty.

Another awesome part of this game did not make its way to the NES. Back then, I remember playing it at an arcade in a pub, and being able to use two joysticks, one to move and one to shoot! It was something I had not seen until many years later, when I played Quake (I think) for the first time.

One last small thing that I still enjoy about this game is the option to drive vehicles like Tanks! and Choppers! I know I am easily amused!

So there is my wish for a sequel, I know it got two but that was like... 10 years ago!

Herzog Zwei's an obvious choice.

I was always more partial to..

I'd love to see what Konami could come up with today. But I'm fairly certain that it'll never happen.

Battle of Olympus.

IBTSTFUN.

I'm a firm believer that if a company hasn't made a sequel to your favorite 8-bit or 16-bit game by now, it's never going to happen.

Guardian legend, make it so.

Battle Monsters.

I'd like another Bloody Wolf.

I'd like an updated Technos Samurai for GBA, and a new Rush'n'Attack.

Cyborg Justice had so much potential but was just done in a half-assed way. I loved it at the time but I'm sure if I played it now I'd cringe. A well done sequel or remake would be aces.
