I have been playing adventures since 1986. I don't mind oldfashioned graphics if the game is worth my while, but they're not enhancing the atmosphere for me, unless it's an obviously nostalgic remake of one of the King's Quests for instance. Your post and some comments on the AG review are in fact saying that for many people modern graphics would detract from the experience of playing Gemini Rue. Why? The story, the characters, voiceacting, everything would still be great and have much better graphics to boot. And a less cumbersome interface.
