TALKING POINT: What games deserve a sequel?
Jon:
River City Ransom. It's a classic "two brothers take on a bully" game in a Grease-era high school. They recently ported it to Gameboy Advance, but no true sequel has ever been made.

Imagine this, part two.
Jeff: The game's The-Warriors-meets- Happy-Days setting was unique, I'd still love to see it realized on a modern console. On the other hand,
River City Ransom's bad guys already say "BARF!" when you hit them. How can you improve on that?
Jon: It could be updated with crips and bloods.
Jeff: They should make an
RBI Baseball 2008 that's just
RBI Baseball with updated rosters, and maybe play-by-play.
Jon: Or
Base Wars! That was was a game that was almost there. Now it would be refined, and so bad ass. I loved the hover-bots. The more realistic the game play is, the worse I am at it.
Jeff: I know what you mean. I'm excellent at robo-combat, so I'm terrible at
Base Wars.
Jon: I remember seeing a video of you dissecting that tankbot's face.
Jeff: He was blocking home plate.>
