Also just because it plays well doesn't mean that it's a good port
No that’s exactly how it works.

Criteria for a good port:
  • Does it run?
  • Is it buggy?
  • Does it have all the same content as the original?

You can’t tell me AO/AE PC are bad ports because they don’t have high-res graphics that the original game never had in the first place. I get that PC games are all about the sweet graphics but they’re sprite-based games from the 1990s, get over it.

Being able to reverse-engineer it to port it again isn’t a criteria to judge it on either. You judge the original game or the source code on that.
