PC-98/X68000/FM Towns ports of dungeon crawling expansion Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes Back ditched the English original's disappointing recycled art from the base game and replaced it with completely new and different (and much better) pixel art.

New cutaway-style illustrations showing the interior workings of each mech are gorgeous high resolution wonders packed with detail.

Battletech is a great example of one of the lost pleasures of retro gaming.

A modern PC port of something will run at a higher resolution and a smoother framerate than its console counterparts.

But the underlying hardware's too similar these days for a game to truly transform to embody the spirit of whatever box it finds itself on.
