Loom and The Dig are among the greatest game stories ever. Now we just need Day of the Tentacle.

Bah, I wanted them to comeon GOG.com damnit! I’d trust them with modern compatibility a HELL of a lot more than I would trust steam

This is excellent news! Old classics hold values and experiences that are non-existant in today’s games. Resurfacing these games can’t be anything but good, for gamers and hopefully modders and the industry.

Fair enough that they aren’t releasing everything at once, but I sure hope they end up releasing everything one day. I’m hanging out for Outlaws for the most I think.

Getting old games like these to run on today’s PC’s with a click of a button without having to fix everything would be an absolute dream come true.

While this is good news- I’ll definitely pick up the classic Indy games and The Dig- I was also hoping for a Dark Forces/Xwing series title…

Sure, but I won’t be paying attention to the next overly excited tweet from them. The hype did not equal the news by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaking to a friend over some casual zombie slughtering last night, we agreed that should a new Tie Fighter or X-Wing game come out we’d pull out all the stops – new graphics card, new flight controls, freshly polished gimp…sorry, Imperial Flight Suit.

It’s our fault for buying the hype I guess ;)

This is clearly just the start and we’ll surely see LucasArts dripfeed more titles onto Steam over the coming weeks and months. They were hardly going to give us everything at once. Besides, there is some good stuff here: the two Indy adventures, Loom, The Dig, as well as the more modern titles like Armed & Dangerous and Republic Commando are all worth checking out.

Oh God, where’s Full Throttle or TIE Fighter? Or praps some of the newer titles like KOTOR? The list doesn’t exactly thrill me…
