As someone who grew up playing in VGA, EGA was always the "outdated" option I was glad to avoid (and let's be honest, most EGA artists did not have the skills of Steve Purcell). But this makes a pretty damning case in favor of the original art. The thing this immediately brought to mind for me was the way Silent Hill 2 was absolutely massacred a few years back in its supposed "remaster" (they left out the FOG): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_HD_Collection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_HD_Collection. This seems to be an eternal pitfall: "Upgrading" graphics while failing to realize that impressive visuals are about artistic skill and effort (often MOSTLY), not just technical stats.
