Random fun post; If you could bring back any classic 90s/Early 2000 game into VR, what would it be?

So, I've been playing alot of DooM and Duke3d via VR mods on my Rift, they're a blast. It's really fun playing these really old pixelated games in full VR. It got me thinking what other old games I'd love to see in VR.

High on the list for me is the entire Wing Commander series, Freelancer, Tie Fighter and basically every other old school space space flight game. Mech Warrior II - Mercenaries would also be a blast, that was my first Mechwarrior game and I think it'll be ideal for a retro-VR experience.

Another series that comes to mind would be the original Tomb Raider triology, those game's third person camera and play style would be perfect for VR.

What would your classic VR game be?

It went into the spam queue, and I just approved it. Don't worry, I approved your account so that won't happen to you again.

To the OP question: Spectre VR for sure (one of the early polygon games for PC). Maybe Blast Corps (old N64 destruction game). Pilot Wings or Prop Cycle. First person Virtua Fighter would be sick. And not a classic game, but what about Fight Night? 


That explains what happened to be a few days ago, was trying to post and then quickly edit said post, the entire database freaked out on me, the post deleted, I posted it again, it deleted again.. Seemed like the Database gods had it in for me. 😉

How about VR Rampage?  Remember that game where the giant Ape and Lizard smashed buildings and ate people?  You could redo it from a couple different angles.  Have two people being the Ape and Lizard, then you could have people inside the buildings attacking them from the inside, or people driving the little tanks and helicopters.

I played F.E.A.R a little using VorpX but it was too zoomed would be cool if they made a proper VR version, along with dead space (as a fps though)

A game based on the movie Wreck-It-Ralph would be cool combing a lot classic arcade titles in a Virtual arcade world!!
