comprehensive list of classic remakes?

[S1500]

I was at discland today, and was slightly astonished just how many remakes of classic games were made, most notably in the PSX era. Here's the ones I saw/remember:

 

(PSX)

Asteroids - bought it

Defender

Frogger

Robotron 2084(can't find it)

Gauntlet

Missile Command

 

Surely there are many more. So what's the full list of these remakes? Of course, some only seem to have the name in common, and nothing more.

Paperboy (N64)

Robotron (N64)

I'm thinking of the ones that got a remake out of nowhere, not existing franchises that got sequel after sequel(and thus transcended consoles).

 

I guess you can add Battlezone to the list. A friend of mine said it made a better racing game than tank game.
