Here's my list of some old PC and PS1 games I'd like to see ported or cloned to DS (not including ones I know are already ported or being worked on) that I think are at least remotely possible on DS. I've played all of these games, most of them enough to get a nostalgic feeling playing them.
I sorted them the best I could with the least graphically demanding at the top, so if anyone wants an easy game to port/clone start at the top or for a big challenge start towards the bottom, don't let the size of the list overwhelm you. If this convinces anyone to port at least one of these games, I'll be a happy gamer and they will have my full support.
If anyone needs more details or a file from one of these games, ask and I'll see what I can legally do.
