Dreams is shaping up to be one of the best content-creating platforms on the market. It shows potential for large, full-scale games to be released daily, giving gamers a chance to see reboots of their favorite series even if the original creators won’t do it. It’s best not to expect any groundbreaking developments until the software has been around for a while, as it takes a long time to make a scene in Dreams any good.

At the moment, Dreams is occupied mostly by memes and copyrighted material including Spider-Man, Spongebob, and Wallace and Gromit. But someday, we might be able to see full-on games. When that happens, here are five that need to be done right away.

Speed Freaks, PS1, 1999

Dreams already contains racing games, so bringing in a title from Playstation 1 isn’t out of the question. Speed Freaks was a wonderfully cartoony foray into racing that plays and looks similar to Mario Kart. Its colors are vibrant and it’s aged noticeably well for a PS1 game. All a content creator needs to do is focus on refining the driving mechanics and then creating a few different drivers to make this entry a great return to form.

Timesplitters, PS2, 2000 – 2005

Dreams has already managed first person shooters, but it might take a bit more to make a Timesplitters remake stand out as those shooters currently feel a bit floaty. Timesplitters for the PS2 featured the original talent behind Goldeneye and has such a dedicated following that a fan remake is in development.

In terms of creating this title in Dreams, someone only needs to make and connect similar-looking corridors, populate it with enemies, throw in a bare bones story and cash in on the nostalgia produced by three entries, but we hope they go a bit further than that.

There’s also some fantastic multiplayer in the original titles that features tight, difficult combat. If someone wants to start the remake now, they just might be able to make a powerful enough engine to support Dreams’ future release of multiplayer, whenever that happens.

Dark Cloud, PS2, 2000 – 2002

While this game could potentially get a third entry, fans have been waiting a long time and it’s not looking likely. Dark Cloud 2 was released in 2002, so we wouldn’t blame anyone still crossing their fingers for creating a spinoff or sequel.

The Dark Cloud series featured an amalgamation of crafting, town management, golfing and monster hunting set in a sprawling, expansive story. Players could even catch their own fish, put them into a tank, force them to do battle and then grill the survivor for food (not saying that’s what Max the protagonist likes to do, but the mechanics are there).

The main story will run players 50-60 hours, and all of it is really good. A recreation could be as short or as long as it needs to be as long as it includes the elements that made the original great.

What made Dark Cloud 2 special was the amount of heart put into it – the giant, winking fish, forest dwellers that love grape juice, and the golfing minigame Spheda deserve to make a comeback.

Shadow of Memories, PS2, 2001

It’s very possible not many people remember or know this title ever existed. However those that picked it up way back in the day found themselves in a time travel murder mystery featuring multiple endings, story-based gameplay and some old school, stilted but charming voice acting.

Shadow of Memories was trying to solve the protagonist’s murder before the PS4 title “Murdered Soul Suspect” made it a thing. And it doesn’t just happen one time, either.

In every chapter the main character Eike is horrifically killed, brought back and sent to the past to somehow stop it. One solution includes leaving his past self a note that reads, “Eike. Please get something like a thick iron plate.” This allows him to block a stabbing when transported back to the present as he finds himself armed with a frying pan.

What made the title fun was figuring out exactly how to stop Eike from dying as well as figuring out who in the world kept killing him. In terms of recreating this entry in Dreams, a few things would be required. At its most basic, someone would need to program character models, item management, the city the game takes place in with at least two different time periods, and multiple endings to have this remake live up to the original.

My Sims, Wii, 2007

My Sims is basically Animal Crossing mixed with The Sims. The My Sims franchise is more “a construction toy than a social experiment,” CG Undertow reports, making a comparison to its Sims counterpart. NPCs still speak in that weird Simlish but they look closer to Nintendo’s Miis, and instead of managing their lives players work to restore a ramshackle old town to its former glory. Dreams would probably do a great job recreating any Sims or lifesim game due to the basic visuals required, so this is a great choice.

It’s also very similar to Animal Crossing in terms of exploring the created village, which would make it gain popularity almost instantly. Get to it, creators.

If You Can Dream It, Do It

This list is certainly not all-encompassing. The beauty of Dreams is that anything is possible. The downside, of course, is the more popular the title becomes, the greater the risk of copyright claims by companies that don’t want the next big Spider-Man game to be locked behind a title they don’t own.

With this in mind, it’s best for developers to create remakes and recreations of either games so old no one will get upset, games owned by developers that don’t care, or just to create their own games from scratch (which Dreams’ developers would prefer, anyway.) There’s no end to the number of possibilities within Dreams, but it’s best to be cautious if you plan to spend the next two years creating a photo-perfect replica of Bikini Bottom in case Nickelodeon comes knocking.
