How about a complete remake of the original 8-bit version, instead? I've always thought that it would be a great idea. People might scoff at playing the same game with the same maps and secrets, but if it was given a realistic 3d perspective with hi-def graphics, an orchestral soundtrack, and solid play controls, with maybe even a few hidden extras--I'd bet people would line up around the block to play the old classic with a new feel.
