Quoted from RTS:

Got it. The original is superior because when it breaks down, you can fix it. But yet the remakes don't have a pattern of parts failing.
I work on my old games too, but that's not how I determine superiority.
The updated bells and whistles with CGC added value for me and made the original version much less desirable. The play experience on the remake is superior.
In fact, a lot of the chatter on the original owners thread is how to mod them like the remakes.
The older games might be cheaper to repair. Doesn't make 'em better.
