well the greatest work would be actually documenting how everything looks, everyone's lines etc etc. but i wasnt sure if one could extract that somehow from the original data files, or if one has to actually play through the game and take notes about how many dragons are in this room, what spells a certain npc casts etc etc. in that case it would be rather taxing work. also there are things that are very particular for some of those games, like the changing moons in the krynn series affecting the casting behaviour of certain mages.
legal issues could be a problem like i said, but (even though it is no valid argument) it seems everyone these days is doing similar things with all these mods based on famous games and the many remakes that are available. basically it's only the story that would be "stolen", since graphics, music etc would be reasonably original. if one single game were to be picked for a remake i would have a hard time choosing between pool of radiance, curse of the azure bonds and champions of krynn. since i dont know much about dungeon craft i'm not certain if it is more adapted to a forgotten realms or a krynn method of handling things.
