 		[computer] Lucas Arts Emulator
Lucas arts classics on OSX (and modern Windows for the less fortunate).
I'm so unbelievably happy. My old Monkey Island 1-3 work great, Sam and Max and day of the tentacle are ordered, now I just have to find the Maniac Mansions.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm on about, my apologies

 		I just recently started playing Maniac Mansion Deluxe. It's a complete recreation of the original that's designed to run on modern machines. It's not Scummv compatible though.

 		Monkey Island 1-3 are Awesome! Thanks for shareing this vortech.

"I am Murray!!"

"El Pollo Diablo..."

These quotes are funny if you've played the games.

 		Oh man, Jinxie and I were just talking about LucasArts last night. Maniac Mansion. THAT'S the one I could not remember.

Heh, my poor Grim Fangango disc keeps crashing the game on my current computer. Sigh.

 		/me resists the urge to post a huge rant about LucasArts ("A LucasFilm Ltd Company", or just "Bastards") and their cancelling of all their new adventure games because their crazy marketing department can't see a need for anything but Star Wars games.

Uh, yeah. ScummVM is good.

Grim Fandango is one of the games that I wish I could find now. Belive it or not, I havnen't heard anything about that game until the last few years. But then again, i'm not a PC gamer.

This sounds like rebel scum talk to me
Wink

Seriously, I wish that they would green light Sam and Max 2. And I hope they don't sic their stormtrooper legal team on the homebrew sequal to one of the best games of the era, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.


/me Fires up ScummV on PDA to get some old school love before lunch.

I have the same problem Sad I've been considering pulling my old computer out of storage and setting it up to play a couple of my old games. Would that be crazy?

That may not be nessisary. I'm not sure what your specific problems are, but I've heard good things about DOSbox (expecially for playing old games). It'a an emulator that let's DOS based games run on all modern OS's (including Mac)
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

Your backs will thank me.

Woo-hoo! I may be able to dust of X-COM and take it for a whirl again. And maybe even classic Civilization, if I can find the disc again.

-- Steve's looking forward to some great retro-gaming. Seeing as the weather's still lousy...

I went on a full out rant on some forum the day they cancelled Full Throttle 2, and later Sam & Max 2. I was so looking forward to a return to those glory days or adventuring, the funniest games I've ever played. I just hope Tim Schaffer's current project, "Psychonauts", turns out to be as funny as all those great LucasArts games he worked on.
