My favourite all time game is Heroes of Might and Magic III. It was released in 1999, and the art is still good, but that maybe because I'm so used to it. Ubisoft did a great job, enhancing it for the HD release in 2015, there is video showing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX_h3RIbSKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX_h3RIbSKk
Though, one lesson I've learned (as a game developer myself), was that enhancing may introduce more visual problems. On a port of a game I worked (Playstation1 -> PC) we hired an artist to enhance the eye textures, but once the team behind the original game saw this, they told us that since there was no EYE animation in the game, and having such high-fidelity texture (for it's time, back in 2000) made all the characters look like toys.. Now if we left (and we did) the eye textures blurry, then your own eyes can't focus, and accept this better (without eye animation). I'm not an artist (just a coder), but this taught me "less is more".
