You might argue that old TV shows lose some of their charm in HD or 4K (which is debatable - look at the TNG remasters to see what I mean), but movies that were intended for the big cinema screen clearly benefit from every additional pixel. It's designed to be cheap, not high quality, since even when it came out there were already several HD formats, which were however too costly and cumbersome for the mass market. Outside of cheaply produced B-movies and other direct to video content, DVD was never the intended way of viewing most content. With movies and TV shows however, it makes little sense to watch DVDs on a modern HD or 4K display, since the vast majority of popular content is available in much higher quality online or on Blu Ray. Playing older games these days, you mostly strive for accuracy, either by using original hardware or precise emulation. I'm regularly playing older games myself, sometimes even ancient stuff from before the videogame crash. If you have information on an obscure game, any bit of information will help because in the future, someone might go through the same situation as you did and anything added in the wiki might be able to help them. Update: I also forgot to add, the wiki is reliant on people adding information overtime, like Wikipedia.
