Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.

It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

Personally, I'd say anything with RetroAchievements support. Why buy new when the classic is still just as good as it was back then? I don't care much about graphics, though, so remakes don't typically offer much I care about. I don't want changes to game mechanics or content, I just want to be able to play it without needing specialized hardware I have to attach to my TV.
