I love seeing old games I've played on different systems come to newer platforms, whether that is phones, PC, newer consoles etc... As I wane nostalgic for this titles I have often wondered if I could convince X developer to let me port their old game to a new platform in agreement for a profit sharing agreement. All of the risk would be on me for putting in the work, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I certainly would not just copy someone else's game wholesale though. As someone who creates games myself that is just a shitty thing to do.

It's worth asking. In the case I'm talking about it would have been simple since we own all the rights, but for previous game I didn't do as good a job at negotiating, and gave the publishers some contractual rights that would probably make it too complicated. Especially since the publisher has been sold to a megacorp who no longer care about me.
