So cheap?
Oh, I really should get Steam back in order some day. What an incredible time for getting old adventure games! |

If you buy them do you get access to the data files to use with ScummVM?

From what i've read over on the ScummVM forums, these re-releases and their data files don't work with ScummVM. They've been tweaked up by LucasArts themselves. The ScummVM team won't be adding support unless LucasArts give them the 'OK'.
As for Steam, i reactivated my account the other day in preparation for the SOMI: SE.

Would there be a reason to use ScummVM? I don't understand why its a problem.

Sure, Steam works on one platform. ScummVM works on many.

Back-Cat Announcement
Another back-catalogue announcement will be made on Monday. No idea what it'll be. But it won't be X-Wing or TIE Fighter that's for sure. One can only hope it'll be more adventure games.

Er... what we talking about again? Oh right! Sorry about the history lesson. Actually, I don't care much for space sims or Star Wars games in general, so I'd be much happier to see more of their classic adventures on Monday, rather than sitting inside the cockpit of an X-Wing. |

Yes, an X-Wing title could definitely show up. Who knows? That would teach a lesson to a few rumor-filled websites out there.

No adventure games this time around; LucasArts is re-releasing the Super Star Wars series on the Wii (Virtual Console).

Yeah, tell me about it! Why tease their fans with this crap? I thought we were going to see more adventures, not some Super NES Star Wars games ported to the Wii. I don't get it.

I am also outraged about a company announcing a product I am not interested in!

But still, you know what Lupin and I meant. We're just big fans of the old adventure IPs and are hopeful to see more now. |

Hehe, brilliant. You're right, of course. And we all should try not to get our hopes up with every little tidbit they say on Twitter.

Are there any left unreleased now of their old adventure games? (I'll admit that I may have missed a couple, since Loom was the only one I was missing, and that was released.)
