All the nostalgia of digging up video of old favorites has led to me Googling the hell out of the titles and looking around to find out if anyone was remaking them. Much to my surprise...
Not quite to the level of quality of even Quest for Glory IV (I loved the musical scores and voice-over narratives), but it's a start. Still hoping that one day, a major game studio takes these old, but great titles under their wing and breathes some new life into them.

WHAT IS AGD INTERACTIVE?
Anonymous Game Developers Interactive, AGDI for short, is a group of highly motivated individuals determined to revive the adventure game genre. Our aim is to remake classic Sierra On-Line adventure games, enhance them to modern standards, and then offer them as free downloads. We believe that adventure games must not be forgotten, and this is our attempt to keep the classics alive in a gaming market that is presently dominated by first person shooter and arcade shooter games.
AGDI has the drive, talent, project management skills, and motivation to accomplish what we set out to do. We take our work seriously and believe that teamwork, willpower, and motivation are the three most important keys to success. The proof of our claims? In the time of a few short years AGDI has released three highly successful remakes and is now working on our most anticipated project yet. Visit our Games page to find out what all the hype is about.
However, it is not only by remaking classics that the adventure game genre will be revived. We have also formed a commercial adventure games company called Himalaya Studios. If you enjoy our remakes, please consider purchasing our commercial title “Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman’s Mine” as a show of support.
