This is Loomed for failure.

I am excited that the *new* LucasArts wants to focus on getting new fans with their existing IP, and I think the MI:SE is definitely the right way to go, but this I don't think is going to be much of a success.

Now, this is the first batch of games, so we'll see. But so far, I don't see people reading this and saying "Ooh, I can't wait to play those same old adventures again!" I see them saying "Ooh, maybe the next batch will have X-Wing, or Tie Fighter, or Super Star Wars, or Indy's Greatest Adventures..." which makes sense because they are games that don't run in ScummVM, don't play ideally in DosBox, or only work in an emulator that pretty much requires illegal acquisition of a ROM. Not to mention, none of those are adventure games.

Where was the "AWESOME NEWS" for the old fans? This is barely worthy of a sidebar that should've been run alongside the MI:SE announcement.
