Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, Full Throttle, The Dig, Loom, Dark Forces, Grim Fandango... Shit man. We have been missing LucasArts for a while. :~(

I remember being a little kid in 4th grade, I loved the Monkey Island soundtrack so much that I recorded the songs with my little boom box cassette recorder from the Tandy. That game was one of those magical sorts where as a little kid I fantasized about actually living in that game world.

Before Dark Forces came out I remember staring at previews in PC Gamer for months at a time. When it came out it was unbelievably AWESOME. Really special company, really special times. Will be forever in my mind with LOVE.

That said there is still hope. Telltale, which consists of former LucasArts employees has been doing a fantastic job of innovating upon adventure gaming; the future is still bright.

For me, it was Star Wars and Outlaws. I am not a fan of adventure games.

Oh, right, Outlaws!

Wow, we did a 3 day LAN party just for that game. It was surprisingly fun multiplayer.

I did it over dial-up. It was fun. Single player was fun too. Too bad it never got a sequel and most likely never.

Have you played The Walking Dead, yet? I thought it was a brilliantly made series. Very easy to play and get immersed in. I found myself much more easily absorbed by it than I am finding with Bioshock: Infinite. Sometimes classic adventure games can be annoying with how puzzles are solved, does not happen in The Walking Dead, such a great, heartwrenchingly, fun, fluid game.

No, I played BTTF game though. Not a fan of those.

Full throttle man... That game was the BOMB!

I was looking forward to Star Wars 1313 and First Assault. I like when they take the lightsabers out of Star Wars once in while. I can only hope they don't make a Duke Nukem out of that games.

But I'm not sad, this won't be the end of Star Wars games and also not for the adventure genre. Lucas Arts made some really great games, which will last forever and ever. Mainly because one day I'll force my kids to stay in the basement until they solved Monkey Island II on Hard mode without any walkthroughs.
