Yeah taumel, you have a point. There is definitely an element of 'rose coloured glasses' involved, but as you say, some of those oldies really are the best. I haven't seen an adventure game yet that has gained anything from being 3D, and I think the new Sam and Max games do just about everything in an inferior manner to the old one. Inferior humour, some really funny animations (especially when you ask the little guy to perform some of the auld ultra-violence) replaced by wooden 3D models, and at least a decent dash of puzzle solving replaced by a set of single clicks that don't give you any options.
