How will it affect Singapore office, anyone know? I recall someome working for Lucasart (or is it Lucasfilm) here, & recently post how happy that disney bought Lucasfilm & hget freee Ipad mini.

Disney Shut down Lucasart

 

Anyway, sad that Lucasart is no more. I love some of the adventure games in the 90s, like full throttle.

This is damn sad news as i grew up with a lot of LucasArts games in the 80s/90s/00s. I'm not forgiving Disney for this, just like i haven't forgiven EA for killing off Origin Systems.

Unlike most guys, I grew up with PC games. Lucasarts produce some of the best games during it's golden years..

Haha...too many good games from Lucasarts liao... I haven't even touch on CD-ROM era games like rebel assault.

 

I agree lucasart's adventure games you never die.

As for Sierra games, knn I accidentally click the edge of the cliff the character really go jump down and die. <_< That's why when Sierra fold 4 years back I don't care...lol

 

 

Sadly those were the days pirated copies are prevalent and mot of my diskette are gone.. I only left Full throttle and Rebel Assualt CD-ROM. Luckily Full throttle can still play with a opensource SCUMM emulator.

 

RIP Lucasarts, Thank you for defining my childhood and geekness..

One of the all time best game for me is the LucasArts WW2 simulator Their Finest Hour.
