The French Revolution

I am a big big big Linux fan, but I feel that after 30 years, it is time for a non-monolithic kernel. I know Linus hates the idea of microkernels but the era of Rust is finally here and it shows that safe microkernels are fully possible now, and I believe the advantages and modularity can be amazing for a new era of open source computing.

Obama.

Black & White 1 or 2. Game was basically made for VR but was released in 2001/2005 and was awesome. It could be huge if handled right with some AR elements.

Winamp.

There's WACUP, but it's not the same and you can't run it natively on Linux.

• The Sony Ericsson T105.

• Firefly

Myth: The Fallen Lords could use a good successor using modern tech. But keep the mechanics and storyline essentials the same, it was amazing.

EDIT: And Thief: The Dark Project too. (Styx: Master of Shadows felt a bit like a spiritual successor, but not quite..)

Some truly crazy sci-fi show a la Lexx or even something like Farscape would be nice. As would a long show with proper character development and intricate long-term story planning like Babylon 5.

The game series Thief is the defining experience of satisfying gameplay for me, and there are not enough games like that. Stealth as a core mechanic, with the expectation and ability to entirely avoid combat and detection, a first person perspective for immersion, and a fascinating fantasy setting and story.

The closest to a spiritual successor is the Styx series, but it's been a while since the last one was released, so I wish for another game like that.

Homeworld

As a game there's been a few attempts, none have captured the simple beauty of the original, even if they were good in their own right.

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

I printed out a 40 page gamefaq so I could 100% it as a kid, I liked exploring the multiplayer maps by myself 🥲 kinda liminal

Dinoriders. Live action, jj abrams.

An RPG in a weird and alien place like Morrowind. And no, Skyrim doesn't count.

Metal Gear Rising

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Dirty Bomb.

Great multi-player class- and objective-focused team shooters with great movement, respawn wave timer and reviving and healing. ET was very popular and has always been free. (etlegacy.com) Dirty Bomb is free to play and found only moderate success, had IMO bad monetization attempts, and was ultimately put into passive mode not being developed or maintained further, with monetization removed.

W:ET as a moddable quake game had a vibrant modding, server hosting, esport, and community scene.

SimEarth. Loved that game, but I want modern graphics and a better environmental model for other planets.

There was a 1999 PC game called Drakan: Order of the Flame which was a pretty good time. Third-person action-adventure sword and sorcery that had some fun hidden secrets, a variety of weapons with different strengths, dragon riding... To expand on that, and probably make the protagonist a bit more realistically dressed, would be enjoyable

Something like Baldur's gate with good ol' realtime with pause. Baldur's gate 3 is a great game, but playing it feels like divinity and not baldurs gate

Seven kingdoms. Late 90s RTS. I still play it and absolutely love it. It got overshadowed by C&C massively.

I am Imagineering a Dark Ride in my VR Theme Park that many have said is a spiritual successor of EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth in Walt Disney World.
