nowadays everything is getting the
reboot treatment so why have these
classics been left out welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down the top 10 games that we think
deserve to be rebooted number 10 descent
descent was a genre in and of itself you
flew a ship but all of the action took
place indoors making it a space sim FPS
hybrid descent introduced players to
dizzying three-dimensional combat in
which enemies could not only attack from
all sides but also from above and below
a reintroduction to this unique brand of
gameplay would be as refreshing today as
it was back in 1995
number nine odd world abe’s oddysee odd
world was one of those games that proved
that personality goes a long way high
while there have been recent attempts to
bring players back to odd world and
spin-offs in an age where side-scrolling
adventures and indie games are making a
comeback
the time seems right for a revisit
number eight system shock I know what
you’re thinking
yeah yeah Bioshock is technically the
new system shock the spiritual successor
as it’s been called but let’s go back to
space can we the most recent iteration
of Bioshock has moved the action outside
and giving you a companion taking away
the claustrophobic isolation that made
System Shock 2 so memorable and bring
back the RPG elements we’re not dumb are
you afraid what is if you fear the end
of your dreams
number seven Tarak okay so this series
has been rebooted recently but we’re
talking about a good reboot this
shouldn’t be difficult guns
dinosaurs and explosions listen
developers you have your work cut out
for you no excuses
number six doom okay so the real-time
strategy genre is dying pretty fast
unless of course you count games with
the word craft in the title so maybe a
new dune RTS game wouldn’t be the
greatest investment for sandy publishers
still there is so much rich lore to draw
from Frank Herbert’s beloved series it’s
a wonder why nobody has tried to make
something dune themed recently who knows
it might spice up the industry I’m a
five-mist with games like The Journey
and dear Esther making waves in the
indie community developers must be
thinking that it would be a great time
for another trip to Misty Island mist is
the grandfather of minimalist adventure
a game with no set goal no real enemies
and no threat of violence or death some
changes would probably have to be made
though did you know that the original
Myst shipped with a blank notebook for
players to jot down notes that would
admittedly be a tough sell today number
four
outcast outcast was more of a cult
classic than anything but it’s
surprising that nobody has tried to
build on the lore that was set in place
outcast was set in a gorgeous sprawling
and fascinating world many would love
another chance to be the stranger in a
strange land once again number 3 dark
forces and Jedi Knight we are very aware
that there’s an oversaturation of star
wars games out there there’s no question
but it’s been a full generation now it’s
time for another true Star Wars FPS with
lightsabers the Emperor will be most
pleased
Force Unleashed was just god of war
except bad and battlefronts was a
Rescate copy of the battlefield games
get kyle katarn back in here okay number
two heretic and hexan like many entries
on this list heretic was pretty unique
in its time it was a first-person
shooter with no traditional guns per se
a fantasy based FPS you ran around with
magic staffs for weapons instead of
shotguns and such largely a copy of doom
heretic made up for its lack of gameplay
innovation with style gauntlets that let
you shoot green lightning think of how
cool that was in 1994 number one Wing
Commander
or free space remember space combat
simulators man it’s been a while we
don’t really care which franchise it is
we just want some fibular old times sake
again this shouldn’t be hard why isn’t
this happening Oh vessels return delays
we need to regroup get out of there
pilots do you agree or disagree with
this list which games do you want to see
rebooted for the latest generation of
gamers and hardware
