I'm a fan of the Wing Commander series and EA (actually doing something right for a change) released Anniversary Editions for all of the main games. It's actually a really cool collaboration between EA and the fan community. People have been modding the games for years, in particular trying to improve the quality of the videos. In Wing Commander III (1994), for example, they tried AI upscaling of the videos that came with game. EA, however, dug through their archives and were able to recover the original recordings and those videos were incorporated into the Anniversary Edition. They posted an interesting write-up of the process. It's nice to see what can be done when people who are passionate about something work together.
