In that case, the game wouldn't look better than original backgrounds rendered by SGI, since most computers still cannot render such detailed scenes in real-time... if you ask me, doing a remake which looks uglier than original makes even less sense : o

BTW I don't think Lucas used just SCUMM engine, the file structure looks completely different, there are original unmodified archived MI1/MI2 files inside... I don't know, but I think the new engine is made from scratch to be compatible with normal SCUMM... would SCUMM handle animations and lightning like in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FPD2SJonwA (2:50)?
Have you seen the background renders for Abe's Oddysee? Do you honestly think that the pre rendered stuff in that can't be done with realtime rendering now? That's simply not true.
