Another game that comes to mind, the other OoT.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998 Nintendo 64)
In my opinion, this is the greatest video game of all time.
But there are three different versions of the game. The original version was on the gold cartridge. The Fire Temple music had Islamic chanting and Ganondorf spit out red blood near the end of the game. These were replaced for the standard grey cartridges with a bland music and green phlegm.
When it was rereleased on the gamecube, the resolution was much better resulting in a cleaner image and no dot crawl. However, the color seems to have been "enhanced" like the star wars dvds with darkened midtones. Additionally, the Muslim crescent which was on the mirror shield and other places was changed to some lame clover design. In my opinion, these changes water down the game and lessen the emotional impact it has.

Are there any ways to preserve an N64 game in the high resolution today's consoles are capable of?
And does anyone know where to find an isolated music track of the original Fire Temple music? It's hackneyed on the official soundtrack.
