All the games. All of them.
Even the ones that just came out. George Lucas taught us that you can't improve your stuff enough. NEVER!
Just add AT-Ats and walkie-talkies and a generous amount of special effects.

Betrayal at Krondor would be nice. Clean up some of the bugs and give it a new graphical styling to go with its amazing story.

I am in agreement with a few of the people above as Shining Force would be great if only because there are so few games of that nature around.

Saga Frontier would be my last choice because i cant think of anything better.

Emperor: Battle for Dune. The RTS Dune games are in sore need of a revamp, campy videos and all.

I'll second Psi Ops. Fantastic game overall.

I must say a lot of the games here really don't need a remake, they're only a few years old, there's little point in remaking a five year old game just to give it shinier graphics, unless a remake actually makes use of current updates in gameplay technology it just comes off as trying to repackage a game with a coat of paint. Stuff like Ratchet and Clank, Half Life 2 and the Legacy of Kain series (aside from Blood Omen) would have almost none or no benefit at all from being remade aside from looking prettier. Games from the last generation really don't need remakes at all.

I would love to see Metal Gear 1 and 2 redone on the MGS 4 engine, as it would drastically improve the gameplay from its 16 bit origins, complete with voice acting and what not.

Rebooted, not remade.

Theif series.

Metal gear. Id love a reboot without too much crazy plot and non NES era villian names. This is a series with the dab guy literally names Big Boss people.

X-wing va Tie fighter. Bring on a new SIM based star wars fighter game.
The crazy plot is a massive part of MGS though, if you took it out, it'd remove a lot of what makes the game great, the gameplay of MGS isn't exactly the best. Plus I'll assume you've played MGS 3, where the name of Big Boss is actually explained. Also that sentence looks like you've written it while drunk :p
I know they explain it. The name is still dumb. And I'll give you crazy plot, thats fine. But the amount of plot holes...MGS4 had like 10 hours of cutscenes trying to plug them.

I know it's obvious and predictable and I'm sorry to be THAT guy but...

Final
Fantasy
VII

So badly want.

Other than that I'd go with Ocarina of Time (as in a real graphical update, not the meh one) and either the Lylat Wars game for N64 (Star Fox?) or Fallout 2.

This is true, I think I'm just used to over looking stuff like that from reading comics, where they've become more mature, regardless of having names from characters that were created for kids. That and yeah, especially with the last movie, I've seen movies that were shorter than the final cinematic from MGS4, and I still had to go read the Metal Gear wiki, because stuff like zero I just didn't make the connection, it made sense once I read it, but y'know, I'm sure most people still had gaps in their memories from not playing MGS 1 and 2 (not metal gear 1 and 2) in years :p I guess my ability to overlook retconning and having to explain it in massive details comes from comics as well, I'm just used to it. But yeah I totally see what you're saying.

Hard to say. All of the best games in my head were awesome because of the ways they were. Rebooting them would just sour some of those memories since it would only be flying on nostalgia. And if it was rebooted, some of that nostalgia would probably be lost in translation.

If I had to pick 3 games to get rebooted, that were 'classic', I'd probably pick some of the games that I loved, but probably weren't well known or played. Perhaps Brave Fencer Musashi, perhaps Sunset Riders, and perhaps Biohazard Battle.

And BattleToads.

Well, Alice was done, Serious Sam is almost done....

*Baldur's Gate: I do not accept Dragon Age as it's 3ed, especially when Neverwinter Nights had more in common.
*Bubsy Bobcat: Yeah, the 3D game was one of the worst eyesore headaches ever made, but I still loved the older games & can see it being revived as a casual flash-based 2D sidescroller, like the way Sonic was meant to be.
*I'm still hoping TellTale buys the rights to Grim Fandango from LucasArts.
