    Tech Question

    Watching the demo for this game I saw and heard that it was essentially stuck on top of the original game. Does this mean that it would therefore be relatively cheap and easy for Lucasarts to use this engine to remake other classic SCUMM games?

    The coding will probably be cheap and easy, but the artwork, voice work etc. isn't.

    They've redone all the artwork and added voice acting so it probably wasn't very easy. I still hope they give this treatment to their other classic games like Full Throttle and Maniac Mansion because those games deserve to be played by a new audience.
