If you would be given a chance to re- invent an old game, which game it would be and how would you re- invent it?? This is your own imagination.......

I wouldn't reinvent them. I'd just make an effort to bring them back into the spotlight. There's a reason they became iconic back then, and it really wasn't because of graphics. Games like Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Castlevania, Super Metroid and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past are a few titles I'd bring back as they were. Today's young gamers fail to realize that great games aren't those that have the best graphics. A game may look awesome but fail to have a compelling storyline that stays with players years after they've finished the game. With games like Terraria, Shovel Knight and Cave Story being so popular I don't see why classic 2-D games cannot make a comeback, either by a reissue or a direct port to newer consoles (keeping original graphics and mechanics but making them playable on modern consoles/PC). It's my belief that young gamers have not really earned the right to play today's games without having known the great games that influenced the developers of today's AAA games. Remakes are already being worked on or released (Final Fantasy VII Remake and Crash Bandicoot NSane Trilogy, for example) that qualify as games that were on the brink of extinction and have been brought back. The two titles mentioned are simply being reworked to take advantage of today's graphics technology (making them prettier). But it's my belief that true enthusiasts will value old and new games based on more than their graphics. So I wouldn't reinvent them, just port them to work on today's gaming systems.
