Ben's Game
 

Looks like we can hate LucasArts a bit less now:

I wonder if this game has professional polish or if it was just a distraction for LEC.

Well, actually from the sounds of it, this isn't a Lucasarts project, rather a project of Eric Johnston, who just so happens to work for Lucasarts. This just means that just because the managment has their heads up their collective arses, doesn't mean the software developers are necessarily as out-of-touch.

Kudos to Eric Johnston, but not sure if there was much more Lucasarts input beyond giving Eric permission to do a little project on the side. Of course, what are they going to do, say no to something that only benefits cancer kids?

That'd just be too cold.

Are you implying LEC would not be capable of this act? :)

Hey, mine too!

At least they're not having the cancer cells all wear little stormtrooper helmets.

I like to pretend even Lucasarts' current level of evil has its limitations. It may only be a fool's dream, but there are worse ones out there.

Bill Tiller, lead artist on CMI, was making his own adventure game too a while back. Haven't heard much about it anymore, so I don't know if it's still being made.

I think that Eric Johnston or whoever, made that game with Ben at/with LucasArts. I say that because LEC put out the press release about it.

Also whats it got to do with adventure gaming, Erwin? Wait, er, is this an adventure game? Maybe it is, I'm confused. I thought it was about zapping cancer...
