Has anyone ever tried to remake DK to look how they thought it should've looked? I know there is INTV programming info and compilers on the net now so it could be done.

No. No one's ever tried it.
Why not give it a shot yourself, Zaxxon?

I've thought about it but didn't want to invest a bunch of time into it only to find out later someone already did something similar.

What always bummed me out on the idea of doing an INTV game was that I wouldn't be able to release it for sale in cartridge form with a cool box/artwork and manual, according to what I had read. Just making it as a ROM file for play on a PC emu wouldn't be a satisfying project.

Well, it seems that Carl Mueller had a version working sometime, he's been working on it up until at least April 2003. I haven't tried it yet though. Here are some screenshots:

Wow... I would love to play that on my Inty. The real version is such a heartbreaker. Tha 2600 version is superior to the original inty version @_@ .

You know, I've never understood why today's hombrewers can make such great looking graphics in older systems nowadays, where the original games they are replacing were so disappointing. Was it because the original designers were unaware of how to create identifiable icons with limited palettes? Or did they not care enough to really put some elbow grease into their games? Or did the company pressure the programmers into finishing before the game could really blossom? Or perhaps our general understanding of how to make good graphics has become more innate since the 80's, allowing people to better manipulate graphics. Any ideas?

Interesting...
I agree that they were heavily under the gun, but I also think that it had to do with most of the old prgrammers not being artists themselves. When the games had a quality artist behind doing the work, you saw a huge improvement in graphics. Keeping on topic with the Intellivision, check out the INTV releases. Most of the graphics were done by a quality graphics artist, like Connie Goldman, and you can notice the difference:
