It did a few years ago, and flopped - they should have stuck with the simple hack'n'slash formula. If you like those retro styled games though, you might want to check out Dragons Crown.

"Another read got me thinking what game would you like to see with a modern make over.

on this other forum i am part of we were asking what was the greatest sports game of all time...

and ended up basically being a arguement between nhl'94 and mvp baseball '05....

fifa '10 was a darkhorse...

I got all excited when I heard they released the updated version that was years in the making. The reviews were shite though, so I didn't bother
