Can you smell that? No, they didn't open all the windows of the old people's home to let some air in - that's the smell of a games company dusting off its old properties and working out how it can make money out of them again in these high-def times we're now living in. EA might just be hauling some classics out into the light of day for a new generation.
The company has filed for new trademarks on Bullfrog oldies
Theme Park and
Populous, as well as chain swinging racer
Road Rash and Origin's space fighter simulator,
Wing Commander.
A trademark, of course, is not the same as an announcement. It does suggest, however, that somewhere in EA, someone is thinking hard about these games. We've yet to meet anyone who filed a trademark for fun...
