elTee Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I did write a long and interesting post about this the other night, but it seems to have dissapeared in the server move... Oh well, here's the upshot: What can we expect as a celebration of the first 20 years of LEC? I hope there's a DVD about the company for sale... prob. not though. Hi, I'm Jake the Administrator, mucking around in other people's posts. Here's the original post by LucasTones from the old forum: LucasArts 20th Anniversary Well, I was beginning to wonder if anyone else had noticed. They have. There's a promising looking page at LucasArts, that says there's a video celebrating the logo changes through the years, and rumour has it they're gonna put an E3 video of classic clips up too. Will there be anything else? I hope so. Maybe merchandise, games re-releases in special packs. Who knows? Put down your ideas and we shall speculate! I want... some kind of DVD, yeah, that'd be a cool thing to buy.
DasJan Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Windows versions of the old adventures streamed on their homepage (like Jeffrey indicated in the Mojo-Interview). That would be great! Or the announcement of MI5, DOTT2 and GF2 on one weekend. Hmm... Das Jan
MJ Posted June 18, 2002 Posted June 18, 2002 Yeah, I'd also like to see the return of old games. Specifically, I'd like to see MI1 and MI2 remade in the style of MI3. That's probably wishful thinking though.
YTtheMighty Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 MJ1 presents, LucasArts Entertainment Company, Behind the Monkey... What do you think, I smell TV special...
elTee Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 Don't say things like that! They really should do something like that though - computer games get nowt but bad press on the TV: "My son went on a kill crazy rampage because of Quake II" etc. When really, the kid was a heroin addict, and the police found a copy of Quake amongst his many possesions. I remember reading at the time that CMI came out that they were gonna do re-makes of the first two... I think there was a mock up picture of CMI guybrush with a CMI style SCUMM Bar exterior in PC Gamer.. I'll go look. [edit] The mock up was made by the mag, not LucasArts.
SamNMax Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 Only 20 years!? I've spent half my life playing these games?
checkmate Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I'd like to see all the classic games rereleased, exactly the same, but with a modernized engine to run it.
mxbx Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I'd like to see them re-released with inverted colors and a cool "wave" effect on all the backgrounds. Oh, and with limited edition plush toys.
elTee Posted June 19, 2002 Author Posted June 19, 2002 That really did make me laugh out loud. Why would you want the colours inverted?? It makes no sense. But, now I think about it...
Jake Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 So you can sit far off to the side and watch them with correct colors as your friend play them on antiquated laptops. I'd love to see (*cough*make*cough*) a documentary or 5 come out of LEC. The thing is, they'd never go back and track down Schafer, Gilbert, Grossman, Land, Bajakian, Chan etc etc and they'd be silly. Would be Mike Stemmle and Clark talking about the charms of Monkey 2.
elTee Posted June 22, 2002 Author Posted June 22, 2002 At the end of Rogue Leader on the gamecube, there's a 'making of' video you unlock. It's ok, bit boring, but thats only cos its a Star Wars game. It'd be cool if they put one on the Full Throttle 2 game.
QueZTone Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 I dont like the download-games-for-money thing for on their website at all. With this 20th ann. I wanna see merchandise and re-releases, or just one huge 20th ann. pack =]
elTee Posted June 24, 2002 Author Posted June 24, 2002 Noooooooooooo!!!!! Jake! JAKE! You exposed me. Ok ok ok. So it wasn't really long and interesting. It was exactly the same. So shuddup. *runs away*
