What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? (piefed.social)

For example, for me, I would *love* a new Populous game based from what was done in Populous 3. That, and a new SimCity based on SimCity 4!

A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.

Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.

Edit: no that's just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn't change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️

Nonono, that's it!!! I totally missed the link :)

After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!

Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don't load!) If this patch can work around those issues that'd be great.

Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!
