This ^ is still probably one of a handful of things I concur with you on... so much as it beguiles me to --> +1 rep

I wouldn't say reinvent it, especially in AOE2, which just needs the graphics to be overhauled with a new engine to remake it into something awesome.

Simgolf on the other hand needs a bit more work. The concept of creating a golf course and resort in a Sim was the best. I even enjoy the sound effects.

And while we are on it, add Anno 1602 to the list, please, please, please!!!
 
Please tell, what makes a game a 'retro video game'?

I have seen on GinX they are showing retro games. Some of them don't appear to be that old.

:confused:

I'd say anything pre-PS2 and Gamecube era.

I downloaded that from steam, it is basically just a modification to display correctly/fullscreen on HD screens, not real HD unfortunately.

This I agree with. It's still a incredibly popular RTS and they could do so much more with some little bit of effort. Nothing regarding the concepts or gameplay needs changing. Just the engine, graphics and possibly a few minor tweaks to the technology trees.
