Xenoblade Chronicles took years to come to North America. I remember seeing multiple petitions trying to get it released over here.

I’m using a 12 year old Xeon based Dell workstation as a file server and PiHole. It’s quiet, reliable, and has a RAID controller built into the motherboard. Before I got my current server I was using a couple Raspberry Pis, which was more work to maintain and less reliable.

The only reason I’m using this machine at all though is because I got it for free. I definitely recommend taking the path of least resistance in terms of cost and availability if you’re not going to be putting super heavy loads on your server.

Not that Picross isn’t a game, but there are speedruns of Microsoft Excel. I’m not convinced something having a speedrun proves it’s status as a game.

I’m actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They’re already good games, a modern update would only serve to render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.

I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn’t supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.
