LucasArts brings back catalog to Steam

Now I can experience Fate of Atlantis! But we NEED X-Wing and TIE Fighter! I wouldn't mind an option for updated graphics a la monkey Island, but they just HAVE to keep the Collector's CD ROM dynamic music system. Also would there be any chance at all of a PC release of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction? Pretty please, Lucasarts?

Full Throttle! That has to be one of the releases.

Sam & Max Hit The Road, Full Throttle, and Day Of the Tentacle please ASAP!!!!!!

Sam & Max Hit The Road please?

I know it's not a PC game but I can't be the only person hoping Herc's Adventures pops up.

2 words: Dark Forces 3rd word: PLEASE!

Sigh I wish they would bring Tie Fighter......

I'm hoping they bring back DroidWorks so that it'll work & run on more modern systems as well.

Fullthrottle!?! I 'dig' this...( I'm so clever)

Loom and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis?! I loved those games.

Ahhhh just reading this makes me wanna go back and reinstall TF, XW, Rebellion, and a host of other games I used to geek out on back in the day.

wow lego indiana jones i can hardly wait. /sarcasm i got an idea - how about making a space combat sim like the one that everyone and their mother have been clamoring for - for years since XWA! heard of xbox? theres no excuse man what is going on with you guys.

I'd be interested if Gamespot went back and gave a quick re-review of these games when they come out to Steam. I'd like to know how they hold up over time and if they play well on modern systems.

Indiana Jones and the emperors tomb!

Making classic games available seems straightfoward. So what took LucasArts (and other publishers and developers) so long? People say games are works of art... do novels, operas, paintings, sculptures disappear from public view a few months after one Christmas sales period? The fact that publishers ruthlessly expunge from existence back catalog titles shows that games are considered by their own patrons and sponsors to be expendable products, not art. For example, I just noticed the first Godfather game from Electronic "Arts" has vanished from both Steam and Direct2Drive. What the hell? I can buy The Godfather books and movies anywhere, any time, but the game is gone.

I own original disc's for a lot classic's, but I'm really happy that Steam and Good Old Games are bringing these titles back. I don't have to root around Ebay for those other gems, build a retro box or resort to abandon'ware sites. Plus I'm crap at setting up Dosbox. I hope to see X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Day of the Tentacle and a few others in the future. Now if only MS would do something similar for the old Mech Warrior games. Well, I can dream can't I?

This and the return of Monkey Island may be signs that LucasArts may be returning their roots. That would be a good thing. An awesome thing. A hell of thing.

"One by one, the list of publishers conspicuously absent from Steam is dwindling. The latest casualty from the list is LucasArts." Oh no. Brendan Sinclair wants to drive to the store at $3 a gallon gas and buy a box with discs in it. The future is downloads, bro.

oh HELL YES!!! :D since I never got to try those

I hope that don't mean retail packaging is out, the service level for running Steam is costly with no possibility of recoup to say the least, many of us are against it.

I wanna see Manny Calavera again! Bring me Grim Fandango!

Wow, I am really glad LucasArts has finally seen the light :D People have been begging them to do this for some time. I think it is great that old favorites will be able to re-play and for newer gamers to try for a first time. I really hope that Grim Fandango makes an upcoming release on Steam. I remember all my friends playing it and loving it, but I never got a chance :(

Why don't the Jedi Outcast games get on Steam right now? Can you hear me begging and screaming?

Good idea. Be cool to see where it leads.

wow hopefully the new steam version of republic commmando will work on my new computer... can't seem to get it to work i've tried both the game disc and a demo for it and it both doesn't work..... and i got a good enough system to run it maxed out and everything so i rrly want to see it like that cause it is one of my favorite games of all time

About freaking time! XD Thank you Lucasarts, thank you for finally wising up and deciding to make money off your old titles. Rather than holding those titles hostage as you've been doing for years. Now they just need to put Tie Fighter and KOTOR up on steam, and we'll be good.

They need to remake or rerelease the X-Wing and Tie Fighter games!

can't wait!!!

Star Wars: Rebellion?

I know it's not for the PC but zombies ate my neighbors should get in there too, with revamped graphics and online co-op. But the music should stay intact.

This is the best thing LA could possibly have done. I'm hoping to see ALL Lucas-developed titles on Steam in the near future.

Yes!!! Star Wars Starfighter!!

OMG, give me X-Wing and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis back!

I still have a copy of X-Wing Alliance, but I have to patch it with fonts nowadays. Still, it's the only reason I have a joystick. Can't wait for BF2, and JK2. Rep Commando and JK2 are both in the Best of Lucasarts PC pack, so if Steam charges higher than like $20 a title, I recommend visiting Amazon and getting it there. :) Wee, can't wait for these games though!

I was kinda hoping for Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, or even some of the X-Wing/Tie Fighter games. But this is a decent start. I'm all over The Dig when it launches.

Hey where's Maniac Mansion ?

FATE OF ATLANTIS! I have two copies for the Mac, one for PC, and I'll probably buy it again. One of my all-time favorite games.

Needs X-Wing & co.

The DIG!!Coolest move Lucasarts has made in about 7 years or so.

Fanfreakintastic!

Really cool move Lucas Arts, you have some great classics, glad to see em back in rotation, especially for the ones that are harder to find. I'm stoked to see The Dig because it gives hope for some other great adventure games as well!

I no longer have to hate Lucasarts! Yay!

Good! Now I can buy the games. Since in my country are impossible to find it at retail.

This is the best thing Lucas Arts has done in a while.

OMG OMG OMG!!!.. Grandes Noticias hahahah XD.... great! (y)...

haha, i still got Republic Commando, CD works well and runs well with Vista and everything, no errors whatsoever! ;D now THAT'S quality work!

YES! NOW I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY TIE FIGHTER AGAIN! AND JEDI KNIGHT AND DARK FORCES AND SO MANY OTHERS! THANK YOU LUCASARTS!

I remember playing "The Dig" on my Pentium Overdrive 83Mhz Dos/Windows 3.1 PC when it was new. It was a very fun adventure game.

Funny, I sent an email to LucasArts about a year ago suggesting that they do exactly this (even specifying that they do it on Steam). Here's hoping that Full Throttle and Dark Forces (and, hell, Jedi Knight) make appearances soon.

i am psyched for the fate of atlantis...never thought id see it again. sweet!
