Our first helping:

• Armed and Dangerous™
• Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis
• Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
• LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
• LOOM™
• Star Wars Battlefront® II
• Star Wars Republic Commando®
• Star Wars Starfighter™
• The Dig®
• Thrillville®: Off the Rails™

While I'm psyched about the Indy and other adventure games, the Star Wars library leaves me wanting a little more.

Hm, the "nothing to do with a specific IP" thing is interesting. Maybe they're making a new point and click adventure game?

Please please please new Xwing.

Well I'm incredibly curious!

Perhaps the success of the Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit ones have piqued their interest...

You mock, but I think the Xwing series could do well on XBLA or as a straight up 360 game. It wasn't as if the controls were as complex as Falcon 4.0 and since IL-2 is coming to the 360, I don't see why an X-Wing or TIE Fighter game can't.

@TTU_VAPOR It doesn't have to do with any specific intellectual property...

Sounds like they are releasing their old games on the iPhone.

Yeah, well said Spunior! We need to be careful what we wish for. At the moment any number of nightmares could befall our favourite franchises.

Anything on a console is not old school LucasArts.

So then the Secret of Monkey Island remake isn't old school?

I'm wondering if it's just releasing their back catalogue somehow? Maybe making all the old games available through Steam, re-releasing them for consoles etc. If it's not a specific IP it sounds as though it has to be something along these lines, just not certain what.

Your ideas intrigue me. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Shadows of the Empire release on Virtual Console. Bet on it!

Close, if what I saw from a link at Wookiepedia is correct, but then again with the Factor 5 lawsuit, it might not be.

But surely that would be related to a specific IP?

No. Old school LucasArts is a PC game!

A pc collection of all their old classic adventure would be good enough for me. I missed out on a lot of those games and have only had the chance to play a few of them through emulation.

Is LucasArts still big enough to do an announcement for an announcement?

They did an "announcement" on Twitter. At least it wasn't about what they were having for lunch.

I've seen dumber posts on Twitter and Facebook. Yes, people, we give a crap about your baby having a crap.

This has also kinda been bugging me, we claw and grasp for any tidbit of information leaked from anyone in the gaming industry, then whine because it's not worthy of an "announcement". Similar to the Starcraft 2 thread. Someone made a news post about some official bit of communication (forum, twitter, etc.), but it falls far short of a press release. So it shouldn't really be treated to the same standards of "is this interesting?"

You need to do your part in improving Twitter by tweeting yourself.

Just release all the adventure games on Gog for Christ"s sake.

Won't you grow hair on your palms, though?

I'm waiting Lucasarts!

Agreed. My bidding for a boxed copy of Day of the Tentacle on eBay always fails short in the last 10 seconds of the auction.

They had to rename it because of all that XXX rape furore recently... I hear they modelled realistic tentacle undressing.
