why replace what is not broken?
I think it should be a game that barely runs on modern hardware entirely because it’s poorly optimized. It would be funny as hell to have a game like that running on toasters if done by talented devs.
I mean, the original Rollercoaster Tycoon was written in basically just x86 assembly code (apparently 99% assembly, 1% C), so why not that? Other than copyright and other such related issues, it’s a perfect game to port to any computer to ever exist that has access to a compatible compiler.
I thought of Crysis also when I read the title. But first, I’m down for Quake and more specifically QuakeTF (team fortress). I spent way too much of my youth playing quake and qtf (honorable mention to UTF).
Crysis is for super ultra settings on your hardware.
Doom is for seeing how low tech you can go.I’d go with the first Metroid. Probably tetris though. That’s already on everything.
