Menace is a real nice game.
I also found its game play very nice, and I liked the GFX and also the Music.
 
I think a "Deluxe" remake would be awesome.
Menace made very nice useage of PAULA Amiga Audio at its time.
Today our SAGA AUDIO offers a lot more.
We can easily play 16bit audio and with plenty more Audio channels doing very good SNDFX is much easier now.

Also Screenresolution and Colors are much more/better now.
 
What do you think about doing the game in for example in 640x360 and with 16bit color?
I could imagine that the background which was static could now be fully animated. The tentacles in the ocean could move. There could be "water blur" effects under sea and all Sprites could have smoother animations.

What do you think?

Also I have to admit, that I like 2 Player games a lot.
I found the 2 player mode of Deluxe Galaga added a lot game fun.
Do we think a 2 Player version of Menace would be good?

Agreed, certainly creating a first level HD Vampire version would be super nice.

Locking down some technical details and the it’s just a matter of creating / enhancing those assets.

Blood Money by the same team added 2 player co-op mode among other things.

That was the magic of Psygnosis, they were famous for their game intros and unique art work.....
