Probably not, unfortunately. (I'm also in that 5-year window; the original Commander Keen was the first PC game I played on my own and I played the hell out of it).

The one form that MIGHT work might be something like a tabletop adaptation somehow: A nostalgic/90s aesthetic TTRPG on a group saving Mars from the aliens or something. It'd be cheap enough to produce + distribute and TTRPGs can live on niche, dedicated fandoms in a way that's harder for video games, plus there's some crossover in the people who like both.

Oh, wait. We could reboot it playing as the ALIENS. That might be unique enough to catch some new fans if it were well made. A just plain reboot won't work, though.
