This isn't a question about what your favourite game is, and therefore what game you'd want to see a remake of. To be honest, a lot of my favourite GOG games are fine the way they are, and don't really need a remake. This is more for games that either you think have potential but are hampered by their age, or that you love but think they are too inaccessible to others because of their age.
My candidate?
Ultima IV. A really cool game with some really fascinating concepts and some impressive world-building, but unfortunately rendered almost unplayable by incredibly dated graphics (that were pretty bad even for the time) and, more importantly, one of the most counter-intuitive UIs I've ever seen in a game. A nice overhaul of the game could work wonders, I think.
Runners-up:
Master of Magic
Might and Magic: World of Xeen
Both runners up not because they're worse games, but because they're more playable.
