Re-Imaginings of Classic Games

All to often we hear people saying that they'd love to see a remake or re-imagining of this or that and when it comes to long-running games series - Final Fantasy and the Legend of Zelda being the most perfect examples - we also often hear people complaining that the stories are confusing (The Legend of Zelda's split time-line, anyone?) or just getting old (such as Final Fantasy's "same s#&t, different game" thing that people are often complaining about)...

Now I'm no asking about these two series specifically, but what "classic" games would you like to see remade or re-imagined?

Would you stick to the "classic" game religiously (only with updated graphics and sound), or would you update the mechanics of the game for modern gaming?

Let the debate begin! ;)

I would love to see Battletoads with the awesome co-op mode! I love cooperative games. And Discworld, definitely Discworld. I loves me some point-and-click adventures.

This thread really reminded me of something I just read, too:

I'd love to see another Medievil game! Medievil is a game that I grew up playing and in my opinion it was brilliant. I still to this day possess a copy of it :)

I never played MediEvil but I always wanted to!

A re-imagining of Jazz Jackrabbit would have me handing over my money.

Jazz Jackrabbit would be great! I always loved the second game, but wasn't a big fan of the 3D one that was cancelled.

I know it sounds stupid but I want a Tower of Druaga re-imagining.

Maybe Nintendo should buy the franchise and use it as the new "Mario" (a number of "key" sources are claiming that Nintendo are secretly considering a new franchise, that is more relevant to modern times han Mario)?
