So I'm looking at these screenshots of Stellar 7 and its remakes/sequels and I think I can see why I like the original. The viewscreen is bigger and fills up more of the screen space. In all of the remakes, the viewport is about half the size due to all of the cockpit graphics.
It makes the low resolution screen seem even more low resolution.
They also run too fast, somehow the slow frame rate makes the graphics easier for the eye to track.
This would be a fun project, to remake Stellar 7 with nice hi-res graphics in Blitz Basic or something.
Another game that would be a great remake with modern technology is Rescue Raiders.
A couple of great webpages on Stellar 7 with all kinds of nice screenshots:
