What updates of classic games should really be made?

With the current surge of remakes of classic games on various formats, I was wondering - what games would the gamers themselves like to see updated? Personally I would like to see the following -
H.E.R.O - 2600/Commodore 64 - I would like to see a GBC or NGPC version of this ...
Paradroid - Commodore 64 - scrreaming out for a remake!
Wizball - Commodore 64 - why not get Sensi Soft themselves to do it??
Robotron/Smash TV - what next? no, not Total Carnage...
Ballblazer - Atari 5200 - Not sure if additions would ruin it's simplicity though...
Revenge of Mutant Camels/Batalyx/Iridis Alpha/most Jeff Minter games - 3d bizarro Jeff Minter games on PS2 anyone?
I was surprised to see Hasbro Interactive come out with Centipede in 3d, and Activision come out with Asteroids. I didn't buy either of them because I had other games in mind at the time. Of course some game series continue as new consoles come out (megaman, mario, sonic, FF, castlevania...etc). The most enjoyable update I've played is the montezuma's return for the color gameboy.
With all this in mind, I'd probably like to see more rpg series enter the 3d world. I'm looking forward to seeing Chronotrigger for the ps2 if it ships over to the US.
Just some thoughts...

I agree with an update of H.E.R.O. which is still one of the best game ever made, but surely a 3D Skool Daze or Back to Skool would be worth considering?
