OK, this is the first post for my new blog, I Dream of Sequels. So I would like to say thanks to anyone who spent time to read my opinions. Without further ado, lets jump right into things with the first game I think should get a remake or a sequel!
Name: Cyborg Justice
Genre: Side Scrolling Beat'em Up(or Brawler)
Developer: Novotrade(also know as Appaloosa Interactive)
Release Year: 1993
System: Sega Genesis
I start with this game because if you look at this blogs banner, to the very left there is a robot. That robot is the basic look for your hero in Cyborg Justice. For those who have not played this game, let's start with a brief synopsis of the story.

Story
In a galaxy....bah, you know the line
In a galaxy....bah, you know the line
The game's opening cinematic shows a spaceship crashing onto a mining colony. The ship's occupant dies shortly after the crash. The space-traveler's mind is to be transplanted into cyborg body and his memory erased so that he can be put to work. The memory wipe fails and the player, as the unwilling cyborg, must escape.
Not a bad story, but that is not the reason I think this game should have a sequel or be remade. The thing I loved about Cyborg Justice was it's game play and how interesting it is. So lets dive into it, shall we?
Character Creation
Its alive......Its alive!
Its alive......Its alive!
Remember how I mentioned that robot to the far left of my banner? That was the basic body, arms and legs a robot in this game can have. At the character creation screen you have a choice of different parts to create an arm yanking, body ripping machine(literally). The choice of the arms and legs you have from the start make a difference, these are not just aesthetic changes. If I recall correctly(been awhile since I have loaded up this game) say you want.....the legs with spike knee caps, those slender long legs increase your walking speed. The arm options allowed you a few different weapons like a buzz saw or a laser cannon. Body selection i think effects maybe.....defense.

Here is why I think this game deserves a sequel/remake! The very interesting combat system. You actually get to RIP off your opponents limbs! Not just that, you can rip the body right off their legs and then equip the leftovers if you so please. This visceral feeling of tearing down your foe limb by limb is just awesome. Not just cut their arms or heads off just to be cool, but to need to do it to regain health or obtain new weapons. Even the bosses(robots like you self with longer hp bars, and I think sometimes special weapons)are not safe! You can also cut arms off with the buzz saw weapon. watching the chips and sparks fly off a robot was so cool! Check out this video to see what I am talking about!
Also the fact that this game is two-player(a big draw for me, I love playing co-op games with my bro)is a huge plus. Ripping robots to pieces with a buddy is a hoot. I think you can even use your partners arm if he drops it off for another.
Final Thoughts

The battle system and character creation/modification is why I think this game should have a sequel/remake. Since I think the company might be dead(their last game was Jaws Unleashed I think)the likely hood of it getting one is slim to none(as if it wasn't EXTREMELY LOW already). If a new one can't be made, I would atleast like its system to be replicated and hopefully expanded on. Besides, WE NEED MORE BRAWLERS! Plain and simple.
