Sortir des jeux d’une vieille boîte, les dépoussiérer et les mettre à jour peut être un vrai casse-tête pour les studios. Faire un remake est en effet un pari à double face. Surtout quand il s’agit d’un titre oublié depuis près de 30 ans et qui ressemblait alors à un OVNI. Live a Live est similaire et différent des autres jeux car sa particularité est la combinaison des genres.
