Actually, the guards in Wolfenstein said "Mein Leben" -- "my life". It was kind of a dumb thing to say, but the game was still amazing.

I don't know if remakes could capture the magic of games from 20 years ago. Fact is, a lot of older games would pale in comparison to what we have nowadays, but back then we were happy to have them! I spent many happy hours playing the original Ultima, but when I played it last year as part of The Ultima Collection, it just wasn't the same. It's being remade with a full-3D engine, but I suspect that the remake (however well it may turn out) will bear little resemblance to the original.

That said, I'd like to see remakes of the Ultima Underworld games--they were simply amazing--and the Starflight series. Well, they're actually working on Starflight 3 (http://www.starflight3.com) and there are a number of other fan-built Starflights in the works. Life is good.
