I'm a bit skeptical at all the devs or fans of older games who want to bring them back today (often with the help of crowdfunding). Sure, some games were too ambitious for their times, but this doesn't mean that they're good now.
I didn't back Elite: Dangerous, because as much as I loved Elite back then, I now expect more from such a game. This is the same for Underworld. They were fine back then, but a new underworld with updated graphics and gameplay won't be groundbreaking (actually it already exists, it's Ark Fatalis). Unless they innovate as much as U:UW innovated back then, I'm not really excited by having it return.
