Reproducing old software (games)

What is the process involved in reproducing older games? Say if I wanted to re-invent an older game for example "Dungeon Master" for newer technology like IPhone, DS, PC .. whatever.

Would I have to manually reproduce every nuance / level of the game or is there a way to parse or translate the source code directly over to whatever language I chose to use?

I am new to this and I am trying to get my feet wet.
Please help.

Solution 1

Become familiar with the game and then write code to duplicate its behavior. Chances are that you won't be able to get the source to most games, regardless of their current status.
