This.
AO and AE's backgrounds were mattes built from scratch with 3D modeling and plenty of image manipulation. It would have taken alot of time, money, and memory - three things OWI didn't have at the time - to recreate that look in a navigable, three-dimensional environment. They certainly did better in that regard with SW though.

yeah but even if you look at the 3d cutscenes in AE and AO, the graphics are still better than MO graphics.
