(Non-StarWars) Lucasarts Games

I'm really into old/new Lucasarts games right now... Been playing "Tales of Monkey Island" on Wiiware and using SCUMMVM on Wii to play "The Dig"
Even been e-mailing back and forth an old employee of Lucasarts (Lucasfilm Computer Division at the time" David Fox

These youtube videos are very interesting! (Might be boring to some)

So my segway into Sega is... I posted a "Saturn Hidden Gems" Thread a few months ago, and no one suggested "Herc's Adventures"

Gamespot gave it a 7.8 and a 8.4 Critic's Score

So anyone played or have this game? And what is your personal opinion? Worth seeking and buying?

I've played the PSX version of Herc's Adventure, and it is pretty damn sweet. It's supposed to be kind of a sequel to Zombies Ate my Neighbors. The gameplay is strikingly similar, except now you're playing in ancient Greek lore. If you can find it for the Saturn or Playstation, I'd say buy it, but be prepared to pay a pretty penny for it.

Also, I love the LucasArts adventure games. Maniac Mansion, Zak Mckraken and the Alien Mindbenders, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Day of the Tentacle, The Monkey Island series, The Dig, and to a lesser extent, Loom. I never finished The Dig, or Tales of Monkey Island, but I hope to someday.

Indeed.

I like some of the even more classic Lucasarts games: The Eidolon, Rescue on Fractalus, Ballblazer...

I've got 13 days off from work during the Christmas Holidays, my brother and I are going to dedicate our time on a few Lucasarts Adventure Games! Finish up "The Dig" and maybe move on to Zak, never heard of Alien Mindbenders... hmm... I've beaten DOTT and COMI (monkey island 3) I'm on Chapter 4 of Tales of MI! I loves those games! Never really got into Sam & Max...

Cool man, Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders is the full name of the game. There was a sequel released awhile ago, but there is only a German version of it. I like Sam & Max alot, the new Telltale games Sam & Max is pretty cool, I just wish they had the original voices, but the new ones are close enough. I haven't beaten either season of those yet. Don't forget to do a run of Maniac Mansion, it is the game that started it all.

I'll have to sit down and MAKE myself finish Maniac Mansion... Just like watching Clerks 1.... Seems boring at first, but it's gotta get better!

I read it was made by ex employees.
Though, that may be a fuzzy memory at this point...I am getting older after all.

Bill Tiller worked on A Vampyre Story so it has that faint Lucasartsy vibe to it.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is indeed an epic game, i played through it quite a lot of times,
to me its one of the best Scumm adventure games ever created.
