If you were him, wouldn't you be thinking that you might be able to make it a much better game with the tech available today? And what about all the gamers now who never had the opportunity to play the game and never will, unless there's a remake?
If he's going to remake it, I hope he beefs it up a bit at least. It was great as a door game, and I played it for a few years, but people expect a lot more from games these days. It better be able to compete with other games feature-wise as well. Nostalgia alone won't cut it.
Information doesn't want to be free, it wants to be tied up and spanked. It told me so itself, in a naughty little whisper.
