12 Legendary Titles Getting a Modern Makeover Worth Playing

5. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2

Can nostalgia kickflip? With Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, it absolutely can. This loving remaster blends the old-school magic of the first two games with modern tech—so every trick, grind, and hidden tape feels tighter and more satisfying. Visuals are noticeably sharper, but it’s the handling that stands out: Movement and physics have been reworked to match today’s standards, making those crazy combos actually doable (minus the thumb cramps). The levels themselves are as wild and imaginative as ever—but now the “Warehouse” pops with detail, and your favorite skaters look better than ever. Its expansive soundtrack keeps every run feeling fresh, blending classic and new tracks. Online leaderboards and multiplayer let you challenge friends (or rivals) easily, ensuring it stays fun far beyond solo play. If you played the originals until your disc was scratched, or you’re just in the mood for a feel-good arcade ride, these two games—bundled together—are a must for any party or solo session.
