True, but I'm pretty sure the VGA versions came out almost back to back with the EGA ones (I could definitly be wrong on this point), and so it was more like releasing 2 versions of the same game than actually remaking a classic for a new audience. It seems like the Sierra remakes all came out a number of years later (SQ1, KQ1...) and as a result there was more of a revamping than simply a retracing.
Anyway, it's possible that I have my facts wrong here. Although I've played both versions of all these games, I'm not too good with remembering release dates. Regardless, I still enjoy the originals as much as their remakes, sometimes more (blocky heads, text parser and all). I love that old school retro feel. Also, there's an element of nostalgia to it when you've played these games before their remakes existed. Nothing will ever replace the original versions.
