This varies depending on the copyright owner. Some will shit cease-and-desists at the very idea, others won't care as long as you're not charging for what you produce.
The rule of thumb, however, is that if the game's owners want you shut down, they will send a C&D first, and only bother with anything more unpleasant if you cannot be contacted or ignore the notice.
Something to think of is that you will be recreating the game on a different engine - the only things of the original you will be using will be the text (obviously) and potentially also maps .
If you can identify who is the game's current owner, you might try contacting them and asking whether they would object to such a project. Then you'll know in advance whether there is any risk involved.

Obsidian Disc

Is this download actually playable without the disc? I am having trouble....

benefactr I remember playing this game as a kid. If I'm thinking of the correct game if you put money it the bank it earned interest, and eventually you would have a boatload of money from the bank.

mattresses Well, Sebatianos, you may not like being wrong, but I'm afraid you are again, Edu-Ware's 'Space' predates this game by nearly 10 years. (Sundog, Starflight, Alternate Reality and quite a few other science fiction CRPG's were released prior to 1987 as well..)

filemoore This is also one of my first games on the c64 i bought. I watch a friend play it forever as we figured things out. I then went out and bought my own, and have enjoyed it. sorry to say the 64 died a long time ago but I keep my important stuff, you never know when something will come in handy. I probably have a copy of all the dungeons somewhere. My son and I are now having fun playing it and making new ones.

********************************

but this may interest anyone who is going to download or has and did not own or save the obsidian code-disk. I still have one. If you need a copy please e-mail me and i will try and get you a copy.

And yes its primative but a very excellent game. and it has aged well. still as good as I remembered it.

skaven510 The C64 version of the game is much better at least the graphics are a little better. They're still basic but at least everything isn't orange

The Fifth Horseman Bugged archive name, apparently. Will fix tomorrow morning if nobody else does that before I'm online.

They could also be the "Ancients" from Stargate
