I actually wonder, the source code might be lost but if all the old art assets are around could someone rebuild the game from scratch with those high-res assets? That would be nice to see.
Yeah, these days – when almost all platforms are based on the same architecture and are usually developed on middleware and multiplatform engines. AO and AE were ported back in the PC gaming dinosaur era, and from games originally built for a platform which doesn’t share much architecture with PCs.
There’s just no reason to call it a bad port when it’s completely functional and has no major bugs or issues despite being 18 years old.

Well in my opinion I feel it is a "bad" port, someone could reconstruct the game. Actually I created a github project for this today:
https://github.com/paulsapps/alive
Since it looks like previous "alive" projects are "dead"
It will probably be quite a while before this even displays a sprite though. Also no assurance it will ever be finished.
I did this a while back but lost the code and it was hacked together:
