If you could remake one video game with updated graphics, controls/interface and/or smarter AI, but leave the rules of gameplay completely intact, what would you choose?
My two are Mechwarrior Mercs and Master of Orion.
Mercs was just an awesome game but the graphics are really far behind these days. There's only been one newer mechwarrior release that is the terrible online version. I would leave the gameplay exactly the same just maybe add better comms with your lance mates and smarter AI in general.
For MOO I prefer it over the sequel. I just like the simplicity of it but man could it use a facelift and the AI is beyond stupid in it.
Edit: Also had to mention MOO performs terribly on large and huge map sizes. The delay between turn calculations is insane. It doesn't make sense either playing on a modern machine, there must be something really bad done in the engine.
Actually, if I could remake civ5 so it just ran smoothly with minimal delay between turns, that'd be a huge improvement and it's not even old!
