Day of the Tentacle is one of the best adventure games. On the one side it's great that a slightly improved is now available. On the otherside, the new "remastered" version uses the SCUMM (open source Lucasarts game engine virtual machine) that was made by fans and can be used to run the old games on modern systems. And those "remastered" versions are only very slightly improved due the lack of original game art graphic files. It was certainly easy to vectorize the vector-art style of DoT, but the "remastered" Grim Fandango basically featured blown up background pictures out of Photoshop. A low point of the "remastered"/"HD" versions is certainly Age of Empires 2 HD where Microsoft closed their former studio and lost all its game arts and therefor the HD re-release featured the same graphics and just provided higher screen resolution as single feature that come from a fan patch years ago. Or Age of Mythology which hasn't been improved graphical wise at all, was already used as base for Age of Empire Online and later re-released as HD edition again. Or the Turok remastered release, which still looks like the 1998 3D game even with all the fog that was needed with early 3D cards but not in 2016. Beside all these cheap rehashes, the Monkey Island 2 re-release was great, one could switch between the old and the new graphics art on the fly by pressing a key. (Sure the new art wasn't that lovely done and could have been a lot better.) What I want from HD re-releases are more polished improved games, not just cheap rip-offs often based on fan patches and mods.
