I voted for Zak McKracken. In my - personal - opinion, the biggest advantage of these remakes is the addition of high-quality voice-overs. Then comes the new music and finally the improved graphics. Among LucasArts' adventures, only MM, Zak and Indy TLC lack voices and Zak McKracken is my favourite among those. Also, it would benefit from a smoother interface and its graphics are a tad simplistic. It's probably not the game that would sell best from that list, nor is it the superior game. But as a pixel-lover, I simply can't fathom how the beautiful graphics of for example Fate of Atlantis can put you off playing.

I chose Sam and Max Hit the Road. I'm surprised no one chose that yet.
I think LucasArts should do something with that game to celebrate the duo's 25th anniversary (you know, what with their first comic series being released in 1987 and everything). |

Considering that the main benefit of a SE game would be spicing up the art and giving voices I think most of these games don't work for me. I'd love to give Loom another run.

One of the first games I played where you could use 3 characters. awesome. I hope your right Rosswell about the MM special edition being released. It would be so good to replay the adventure with new fresh graphics (hand drawn/painted of course) and full voice acting. Maybe with some extra locations and puzzles etc. But I would agree with most titles on that list... love to see them all re mastered over time. |

I can't believe people want a Fate of Atlantis remake! The graphics were outstanding, some of the best ever made! They cannot be improved. I don't see how the music and voice could ever be improved either.
Realistically, I think what should happen is the most popular titles be remade first. Hopefully they will sell well, and more get made. People will start to realise how good old adventures are, and start buying all Lucasarts remakes. Then eventually popularity will soar and we may have the whole Lucasarts catalogue remade! |

I voted Maniac Mansion, because i would like to see a graphic update with voices. The other games already look great. DoTT is my favourite, however..it already looks good and doesnt desperately need the update. |

I'd say DOTT or MM because they are two of the greatest lucas arts games apart from monkey island of course and they deserve the excellent re-furbish that Monkey Island got

With Sam and Max the graphics where pretty good if I remember and they had awesome voices. But saying this you do have a point about the 25th anniversary.. it would be kind of nice to se it revamped. |

Fate of Atlantis. Because I'd love to hear the remixed, and because there's little chance of screwing up the main character design (I hate how for some reason Guybrush had to look goofy, because originally he was just a young and healthylooking prettyboy with a witty tongue - that's why other pirates didn't take him very seriously, because he didn't look intimidating or ugly or threatening enough, not because he was looked goofy).

Isn't 2012 also the 25th anniversary for Maniac Mansion and the SCUMM engine as well as the 30th Anniversary of LucasArts as a whole? Could be an interesting year if they figure it out themselves.

Voted Loom since it's ancient and really could use some polishing. Grim Fandango looks just great, like said it only needs a working release (GoG hello...) I would also be interested in new versions of The Dig, Fate of Atlantis, SamnMax and DoTT, these are still playable though. And why not Indy3 too, never really played it because of the action scenes and now it feels a bit too old. All the really old ones with dead ends and sudden deaths etc. would be nice to get redone more user friendly. I know Lucas wasn't as horrible in this as Sierra but these still exist.

Zak McKracken could be cool, even though the FM Towns version had nice enough graphics and music already... there is still one thing I would love to have which could make a remake of this game worth it -
An optional auto-mapping feature in the various labyrinths. I've already finished the game the honest way several times, and now those labyrinths are just a huge annoyance which prevents me from replaying the game as often as I'd like. However, Maniac Mansion never got an updated FM-Towns release, so this is the only Lucasarts adventure game (unless you count Labyrinth, I guess) stuck with 16 colors... so that's one reason to hope for a remake of that one (I'm not counting fan-made games). Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis could have been great *if* they had given it a decent budget and put enough work into to make it really great, and not just a semi-cheap feeling cash-in kind of remake. It's such a fantastic game, it has the storyline I enjoy the most out of any Lucasarts games. |

if they remake Indy: Atlantis they should market it as "What Indy 4 Should Have Been"
ah if only...
