What RPG Do You Wish Had A Retroclone?

[Retreater]

Adventures Dark and Deep is somewhere between 1e and 2e.

Yeah. I just came across that this morning, in fact. It somehow hadn't been on my radar.
Not finding a lot of information about it yet.

Star Frontiers including Knight Hawks supplement.

(Maybe including parts of Zebulon's as well)

they just had a KS for a ‘second edition’

Hmmm. The game that initially comes to mind requires its setting too, so that wouldn't really be a retroclone so much as a new edition.

Shadowrun 2e. Not necessarily for availability (there's both enough books on the used market and a PDF with a scanned version on DriveThruRPG), but rather as a basis for people to evolve its rule set just like newer OSR titles emerged from the D&D retro clones. Would obviously require an open license, though, so it's probably just wishful thinking.

I wanted that AD&D 2e retro clone that had a kickstarter 11 years or so ago that was supposed to come out, think it had “Myth” in the title? I was really wanting that to come out and be a success, as did my group.

I would love Fifth Age Saga to be cloned, so I can at least have some kind of deck to use.

Palladium Fantasy cloned with a bit more design rigor, though not too much, as one of the appeals of that system to me is the power variance.

Myth & Magic? Think it's available on DriveThruRPG. DriveThruRPG

Hackmaster 4e is between 1e and 2e.
Advanced Labyrinth Lord is somewhat like 1e.

WEG Star Wars 1E is definitely up there. Such a great game. Too bad they started piling on pointless rules. The bloated versions have plenty of clones.

Top Secret and Star Frontiers, the originals by TSR. I'm aware other games exist called Top Secret and Star Frontiers, but none of them come close.

Hard agree. WEG star wars 1st ed is simple and great, but d6 Space is an unwieldy mess.

 

[J.Quondam]

Prince Valiant is often highly recommended, but it's so long out of print and the second edition was such a small run that the game is still practically impossible to find legitimately. It might be nice if that engine was available as a more generic retroclone.

Hackmaster 4e is between 1e and 2e.

Hackmaster is way too ... way too ... way?
I watched a 2+ hour system deep-dive video on it, and let's say it's extremely intricate.
