The games, part of a larger bundle of 25 EA Classics, include Wing Commander 3, Road Rash, and a variety of Ultima titles. The remasters, labeled as \"Anniversary Editions,\" are updated versions of the original games that aim to preserve their original look, feel, and creative intent while providing modern system support and performance improvements. According to EA, the remasters were created using a physical media vault containing thousands of tapes and other media assets, which recovered lost Master FMV sequences for the seven flagship games.",
