I really enjoyed that the setting is more grounded than other games. Personally, I wouldn’t describe it as generic.

Gameplay-wise it doesn’t do much interesting.

Honest question: Why would you want a remake/remaster when the original can be played almost anywhere thanks to emulators? Is it just the legal acquisition of the game, or would you want to see some improvements to the game?

It depends on the jurisdiction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces
