What I'd love to see is a modern version of this game.

I love that game. It's an overhead space shooty thing only you can actually explore places and it's all set up like you are beamed into the internet and all the levels are the folders on your hard disk, and the currency is whatever icons are in those folders (appearing AS those icons), and you join various factions with special attributes and there's a lot of interaction with other "people", except they are NPCs and you'll see people call for help and you save them and sometimes befriend or make an enemy out of someone that way. Also there's races, and every now and then you get arrested, and sometimes you get pulled into your inner mind to fight your inner demon to gain ultra powerful weapons, and oh yeah, you can make your own ship at the start.
I love that game. A modern version with more than just one boss and actual online play to mix with the game's own "pretend online play" would be awesome.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
