Define "1999" graphics. Graphics don't make the game. Mega Man 9 and 10 used "1980's" graphics and seemed to do alright. Games with dinosaurs do just fine, and I cite for reference Dino Crisis and Turok. It's when developer's get lazy and depend on the "power behind the franchise" alone that a game becomes crap. It's kinda why Mega Man X when to Hell after episode 4. After that, each new X game was handled by an entirely new team, so none of the people from the preceding game were there to tell the new guys what was so successful about it, and what sucked. And by that logic, I think this new series will do just fine, because the executives at TellTale aren't ignorant of their own products, and have paid much attention to the successes and failures of past franchise entries, like Sam and Max, and the new Back to the Future series. I haven't played their Monkey Island series, mostly because old-fashioned pirates never appealed to me, but I hear everyone who HAS played it loves it.

By the by, I've heard rumours that TT was developing a "Where's Waldo?" game?
