I honestly don't see a point to creating "replacement 2D assets" for old LucasArts and Sierra adventure games. As far as I know, every single one of those classic adventure games runs great inside SCUMMVM. So why not just buy any of the games you want to play (from GOG) and run it through SCUMMVM? I bought Quest for Glory I-V for like $10. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is $5.

Looks like some of the original Monkey Island games were taken off the site and replaced with remakes, much to fans' dismay. I suppose there are other ways of tracking down the originals.

Har, har!

MI and MI2, replaced with a 'Special Edition' which does include 'classic mode'.

Industry is not ready for leasing the assets to the end-users. Yet, I hope.
