It blows me away that people do these incredible projects but just for the thrill of to see if they can.

Just imagine what people would do if they didn't have to work anymore!

Probably just sit on their asses and wither, I'm sure. No one will do cool projects that many will benefit from.

I don't think it's entirely on the thrill of seeing if they can, it's also a passion project from their love of the original. They put it out there so people can enjoy the game in a fresh way, the way the devs want it to be able to be experienced.
