Which house of the dead should I play for nostalgia?

I played house of the dead 1 when I was a kid. I did not understand the story. I was just shooting monsters. I played a lot of it though. I want to go back and play it local coop. i appreciate modern remakes like the resident evil, silent hill 2 and dead space but this game remake on steam has mixed reviews. what do you people think I should play the original or the remake?
