Blizzard recently released Starcraft: Remastered on the 20th anniversary of Starcraft (https://starcraft.com). Because much of the game balance relies on weird/buggy unit behavior, it was critical to keep the game code intact, so the developers only focused on a graphical, UI, and netcode refresh. It worked, and was successful, but it's been months since release and there are still huge bugs and general problems with everything they did touch.

There was some discussion here about the effort it took to emulate a lot of the bugs in order to keep the game the same.
