I prefere to play the original one ...

For it's time, it was amazing. I tried it again recently, but water effects have moved on just a bit

A groundbreaking game though. Skyrim and Dragon Age are good but....

I refute Skool Daze - Bully..

Bully = School GTA

Also X-Com - X-Com

I played a lot of Skool Daze but I never knew how to finish the game. I was always attending to classes like goody-little-two-shoes.

To be honest I still don't have a clue what the game was about. Back then when being a kid I just had unlimited energy to keep on playing games without any progress.

I am going to google this game+emulator now but I fear in my memories it look wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better.

EDIT: I found a remake. It's a bit technical and I don't understand how to install yet. http://pyskool.ca/?page_id=88

Nobody has said this but the true sequel to Elite is not Frontier, but Oolite.

I'm going to stick my oar in and say Dungeon Master. I've been looking for a decent iPad and Android clone but none exists (well, one did for a short time until it was pulled because of copyright). I've got DMJava with the editor built in and I love it. I wish there was a decent PC port of it though. I plyed that game and the sequel 'Chaos Strikes back' over and over again back in the day.

Hi Highrisedrifter
You might want to check out the Dungeon Master mod for Grimrock.

Unfortunately, its on the PC only I think.

There is Deadly Dungeons though on Android, that doesn't look half bad.

Ah - you must mean the world's most popular sport that is played in pretty much every civilised nation?

As for not 'repackaging' a game, what would you have them do? Stick with Fifa 97 + squad updates? Granted, one game a year is unnecessary and the series would benefit from bi-annual releases in my opinion, but that's never going to happen.

Football? Surely that's a business simulator?

Many thanks!

I didn't realise someone else had replied to me. Funnily enough, I was pointed to Grimrock the other day having never previously realised how close to DM it was.
