I think the CD sound, VGA graphics, reduction of the SCUMM verbs to the later-standardized nine, and use of a graphical inventory were all slowly added onto subsequent versions of the game. The initial release of MI1 was EGA with text based inventory more akin to Maniac Mansion... Other than that you're totally right and I agree with you. Also I just reminded myself of a very bad ripoff of ATMachine
