With the recent flux of decompiled and recompiled projects for retro games to play them natively on PC, which game do you want see tackled on? And why? Or do you rather want Mods and Romhacks for the actual Rom for emulation?

I'm thinking of an NES game I had played back then, and wish it had Mods and Romhacks to improve certain aspects. Sadly its not a popular game, as to why nobody did it.

Over Horizon (NES, 1991, 1992): Wikipedia | MobyGames | GameFAQs

Game was published in Japan and the only country it was published elsewhere is Germany (where I live and got it). That explains why the game wasn't much popular and known. The soundtrack is one of its highlights too, composed by Masaharu Iwata (who worked on Final Fantasy Tactics too BTW). But it had two major issues to me: Bad slowdowns and audio channels were cutoff when other sound was played. The slowdowns could be solved with modern emulators and overclocking and other settings. But the audio always bugged me.
