I must be in the minority, but I really prefer the EGA versions of many of those games. Probably nostalgia.

Even less defensible, I've come to appreciate the (awful to me at the time) CGA 4-color palette. You know, the games that were either cyan-magenta-white-black or red-yellow-green-black? I hated it at the time, but now I look back on that time with my rose-tinted (or should I say, magenta-tinted?) glasses firmly on.

I even bought the fake retroremake Eternal Castle, which is a loving homage to that era.
