Just stumbled upon a remake of and old classic game which is none other than Karateka (a precursor, of sorts, to Prince of Persia, also by Jordan Mechner), made by a certain Flavio Smirne. The remake seems to rather accurately reproduce the original, and it has some neat looks too!

I wonder why no one has yet mentioned Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded:

It's a very promising (still WIP) non-commercial project aimed at remaking the original Duke Nukem 3D in high-quality true 3D, using the Unreal Engine 3. This project has been officially sanctioned by the current copyright holders of the Duke Nukem franchise, and it is going to be a freeware stand-alone game. The primary objective of the development team for now is to recreate the original episodes of Duke Nukem 3D with both single- and multiplayer capability. A multiplayer-only beta demo is expected to be released in the near future.

In the meantime, Return of the Triad has reached an official release (and had been already updated several times, as it seems). Return of the Triad is a fan recreation of Apogee' FPS classic, Rise of the Triad that uses the Doom engine (more accurately, the ZDoom port. It uses the original resources (graphics, sounds and music), and tries to keep close to the original game while utilizing the features of more advanced engine to the game's advantage. The current release, v1.5, has 11 single-player levels which are completely new, and 6 multiplayer maps.

Gods Deluxe is a remake of the classic platform game Gods by Bitmap Brothers. Despite being labelled v0.8, the game is already complete with faithful recreations of all original levels, plus several new levels made by the author of the project. The graphics are scaled up (either through the use of filters or manually, I'm not sure), and there's an optional MP3 music pack available for download as well. Here are some screenies (the top one is from the recreation of the first level, the second is from one of the new levels):

Recently I've stumbled upon two custom campaigns for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne that are accurate recreations of the campaigns in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans:
Warcraft: Humans
Warcraft: Orcs

This is not the same thing as The Dawn of Chaos (speaking of which, here's their new website), and the two projects appear to be unrelated.
