You see, the point of Peasant's Quest was to be a throwback TO those "shitty Sierra adventures of the eighties." To update it is akin to colorizing Young Frankenstein or putting a speaking soundtrack to Silent Movie (odd that the two throwbacks I can think of are both Mel Brooks). Or, to take examples from Homestar Runner itself, to put the "1936" cartoons into the format of normal H*R cartoons, with the normal voices and normal characterizations; it's like taking their Stinkoman game and giving it the engine of one of the N64 Megaman games. It's completely missing the point of the original. No offense. But that's just how I see it.
