Dogmaus: Same, hoping for a working release for DF and Outlaws soon.
Such things are nice and all, and bring new life into some games....and as such I gladly welcome them(especially over some[not all] of the paid efforts for high prices called remakes/remasters).
That said, I think the original versions of games are usually decent enough on their own, and that gamers should give them a shot as well.
Addition: if they add manual in-level saves to the first DF game, that'd actually be a welcome improvement
