10 Cult Classic Video Games That Deserve A Remake
2. The Neverhood
With flashy titles like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 showcasing the heights gaming could be pushed to, classic Point-and-Click titles of old were being made obsolete by the 1990s. However, as gamers got to grips with their new games in 1996, a little-known gem was released as the genre's last hurrah.
Released on Windows by Dreamworks, The Neverhood is a claymation point-and-click puzzle game that sees players take control of Klaymen. The first professional stop-motion production using digital cameras ever, The Neverhood is entirely made up of claymation and has further developed a cult following for its adult themes, impressive difficulty and an assortment of wacky visuals and soundtracks.
Ultimately, it is a game whose originality still stands out nearly thirty years on from its initial release.
In 2011, some of the game's developers were able to negotiate the rights to the game and various ports across PC and Mobiles have followed in the years since.
However, despite the PS1 getting a port in 1998, official remakes have been non-existent, which is a real shame for a game that still clearly boasts a hefty cult following.
