Secret of Monkey Island never had voices. Not until the remake at least. Not even the CD release of SOMI had voices. Having voices done for a port wouldn't be cost effective. DOTT is too colorful and has too much animation to work on Sega CD.Quote:

I am speaking from the 14 year old version of myself in 1994.Quote:

Huzzah for fan hackers!Quote:

I'm always sad to see a classic developer bite the dust. RIP LucasArts.
Well shit, now all those old LucasArts games on my want list are going to skyrocket in price.
Thankfully I pretty much own all the ones I wanted.
That means I'M RICH NOW!!Quote:

I was really looking forward to 1313. It's such a shame the game may never be released.
LucasArts was a big part of my gaming history, with titles like Monkey Island, Jedi Knight II, Star Wars Battlefront 1&2, the SNES trilogy and Star Wars: Galaxies. I just recently picked up Tie Fighter on CD ROM, and I plan on playing it really soon.
This is the biggest loss for me as a gamer. LucasArts was one of my favorites and it's such a shame that it has to go away like this. :(
To me, Starwars: Droid Works will always be the best starwars game <3

RIP Lucas Arts. They were at one time, one of the truly great western developers. Their point and click games are legendary (Sam and Max Hit The Road! The Dig! Full Throttle! Everything Else!). The X-Wing, and TIE Fighter series weren't just great examples of the space combat sim genre, they were MASTERFUL.
This once proud, PC fanboy nerd just died a little inside. :Panda:
I wonder who will get to license the older games onto newer platforms in the future? Man, I hope it isn't EA....
I think I'm going to have to turn the video off half way in. How can anybody think the Super Star Wars games and stuff like Jedi Powers Battles are amazing action games? Ugh, I'll keep going. Ah I'm glad I did, I can't believe they took that long to get to KOTOR.Quote:
