Lack of detail can often create stronger imagery because the reader/viewer's brain fills in the textures. With a lo-fi King's Quest I imagined gallant heroes on trusty steeds. The same way that cartoons can be more expressive than live action and how books can have more vivid imagery than movies. Who could possibly do justice on screen to the character of Ignatius J. Reilly?

I had some difficulty with SC1 due to the graphics. I couldn't judge depth very well due to the weird perspective and blurry sprites. Sometimes I mistook passable terrain for impassible terrain, or misjudged the size of buildings.

Redoing the graphics doesn't actually fix the awkward perspective, but I think it will help mitigate it. You want people to fill in the details that don't matter, but the details that are important to the gameplay should be clear.

I'm going to say ... lots of people. It's basically Reality TV trash in literary form.

I have never understood the literary lovefest that "Confederacy of Dunces" seems to incur ...

I've never heard of a Reality TV character who is as trashy as Ignatius but has also read the Great Books and earnestly believes himself to be a Great Man
