So here's a video about trying to render the vector art in the original King's Quest II (and other AGI games) at higher resolutions. It's interesting, and while I don't agree with all the choices that the coder used to make them, I think it's an interesting experiment which is worth examining even if I'd probably never want to play the game this way
Honestly though I kind of love the way it looks at 3:37 in all its broken glory. Ship the fuck outta that.
On the other hand I disagree with nearly every choice in this nintendo audio "improvement" video.
Like, wow, he starts off trying to "improve" the NES triangle wave channel by getting rid of the high-frequency components of it so that it's not a stairstep but a pure triangle. It gives it a worse, unnecessarily smooth sound. Not, "Here's a NES homebrew emulator that supports some volume commands on the triangle channel so you can vary its volume; obviously you can't do this on original hardware, but that's one of the reasons we do emulators"
Reminds me of the weirdos who replace the SN76489 in Master System etc. emulators with sine waves instead of square. Awful, incomprehensible decisions, but like they say, there's no taste in accounting.
