Your favorite LucasArts adventure game...

Got this idea from the mention of Grim Fandango in the Psychonauts thread.

I grew up on these games, which all used modified versions of the SCUMM engine.

These games were known for their great graphics, story, and challenge. a lot of them were hilarious too.

My favorites would have to be:

The Secret of Monkey Island (1-4)
Full Throttle (can't tell you how many times I've played through it).

Dark horse candidate would be "The Dig." It should have been a movie and almost was.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. (I played it on Macintosh.)

I've never really played through any adventure games of any sort, and on top of that, I find that all of the ones I've tried are a complete bore. Everyone else loves them, but I need more violence and mayhem.

full throttle was fun, the ending was a bit bogus since you had to *guess* that you could get something you couldnt see from off screen to save yourself|

Yeah, not a fan of adventure games either. At least none that were made in or after the 90s.

Oh man, i cant decide, LucasArts made some of the best adventure games ever. Monkey Island (2 is my fav), Fate of atlantis, Mania mansion and Day of the Tentacle....cant decide whi one of them is the best.

Manic Mansion and Full Throttle. Still play through each regularly.

Had it on Mac too, but on floppy, not CD so there were no voice overs.

That game was pretty epic in scope considering when it was made, with the 3 branching paths and stuff.

Perhaps content for another thread - but in the classic adventure battle, who do you guys pick - LucasArts or Sierra?



I think it's a fucking tough call.

Who made Sam & Max?

I loved Monkey Island. 1 and 2 are absolute classics and comedy gold!

Oh man that is indeed a tough one to call. Out of the all the "Quests" they made I only ever like the Space Quest series. But then again we have the wonderful Larry series, Phantasmagoria 1 & 2, Gabriel Knight 1 & 2 (not a fan of the latter sequels).


Too tough to call. There were many many great adventure games released in the good old times. Discworld comes to mind. Now THAT was an awesome game.

i liked zork and myst.

Myst, for a while, was the best-selling PC game in history. The game nearly put me to sleep every time I played it! Sure, it was gorgeous, but there wasn't enough there to interest me.

I'll be honest though, I DID play both Sam & Max and Full Throttle back in the day every now and then at friend's houses, and they were both good times. So I partially retract what I said in my first post.

I had it on floppy as well... I never knew there were voiceovers!


Oh, and shit, yeah I forgot Maniac Mansion for some reason....

Labyrinth was also fun.

tie fighter is still the best thing to come out of lucasarts, ever.

Yeah, since you had Apples back then too, you know we always got screwed like that. The PC version was on CD with voices. We also had to wait sometimes a year or two to get the same game that PC already had.

The nice thing was, a lot of the "Mac ports" were more polished. A few examples come to mind. (Lemmings, Warcraft II, Armor Alley...)

Playing through Psychonauts again right now makes me realize just how much closer it is to a LA adventure game than a true platformer.

Love it.

That's very true.

i loved them!!! i never finished last crusade though. i used to play through them with my dad, most of the time i couldnt work out what to do so i had to use the walkthrough but my favourite would be full throttle

"you know what would look good on your nose?"
"what??"
"the bar!" *SMACK*

I love that line.

Remember the dude in the trailer? He said the funniest stuff if you kept on bugging him.


And who could forget:

I'm not puttin' my lips on that.

I played Full Throttle, Fate of Atlantis, and Day of the Tentacle. Full Throttle was definitely my favorite.

Day of the Testicle was great. But there is nothing as amusing and nostalgic as Monkey Island 1.

LucasArts

Day of the Tentacle, MI, King's Quest, Simon The Sorcerer... all awesome.

Kings Quest was Sierra
