God damn it. That music.

I loved that game so much when I was a kid. It was another one of those "Doom-ish" games but still had things that separated it from the other clones.
I think Tyrian needs a revival. That game is near 20 years old and it's still an amazing play today. Literally a month ago I sat down and played through the entire thing again.
Robot Arena is also a great PC game that needs a reboot. It's been almost a decade since its last incarnation, but unfortunately no one cares about robot combat anymore so I doubt we'll ever see a RA 3; it's amazing we even got a 2 because the original Robot Arena was GOD AWFUL, but number 2 was just amazing. The game still has an active online community and healthy modding community to boot.
Megarace also needs a better installment. The first one (which most people received as a bundle with their Windows 3.1 computers) was pretty incredible for its time and used some fancy technological trickery to give you a 3D racing experience without the hardware requirements, it's like a low-end PS1 game years before the console existed. Megarace 2 was "meh" and 3 was just bad. I don't even know how old Christian Erickson is or if he'd be able to reprise his role as Lance Boyle for a 4th game either. D:
