Modern Maniac Mansion 33
Wired.com is reporting on a Modern remake of classic adventure game Maniac Mansion. From the article: "The new game is almost identical to the original, except for the graphics and sound.

Adventure games are not top sellers (The longes journes sold to my knowledge around 300.000 worldwide) but they still have their nieche market. They currently are done mostly by smaller studios who dont go after a million copies sold.
