Classic games that would work well on a Tablet/touchscreen..?

[Garrett]

I'm forever hearing people saying this or that game just doesn't work, is poorly mapped or just far too convoluted etc for touchscreen & for the most part I tend to agree.. a lot of the classics ported to touchscreen make absolutely no sense to me.

Which got me thinking.. which ones would make sense/work well (at least in theory) what would you like to see..?

An obvious one has got to be Rez, I think the Panzer Dragoon's would also be good candidates.

What do you guys reckon..?

I think it depends on what kind of touch and the screen size. If it's accurate (e.g. resistive) or the screen is big enough (e.g. 10" tablet), mouse-based strategy games like Lemmings and Warcraft can work well on a touch screen. But I wouldn't want to play Lemmings on a 3" capacitive touch screen

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Complete

I have seen these on tablets and it seemed to work very well,

like everything turn based.

Doesn't it still need like 5 buttons?
The only game I ever played which I like way better on a touch screen than with physical controls is Super Hexagon.

The GBA version does, however for a touchscreen version you could cut that down to one button (speed up the helirin) + for moving the helirin you just move your finger across the screen.

I don't think I'd like that. That's just a work around, no equivalent solution.

Each to their own.
