I´d like to recommend a few: Battle of Wesnoth is a Shining Force like strategy game. I loved playing all Shining Force titles on megadrive and saturn and can recommend this game to everyone who loves games like shining force and final fantasy tactics.
Privateer Gemini Gold is the inofficial successor of Privateer, a highly successful space game back in the nineties.

Nice links! I just love the original Privateer and I’m sure that this “sequel” will not disapoint me.
Another game that could have an updated version is UFO – X-COM, don’t you think?
Oh boy, they already have made it!!!
