Adventure games could return - LucasArts

News - Point-and-click re-releases possible?

Classic LucasArts adventure game titles (of the point-and-click variety) could return according to online reports.

Speaking to Eurogamer.net PR boss Chris Norris and Fracture producer Jeffrey Gullett admit that they've noticed a clamour for revivals of games like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, et al.

"We have looked at it," Norris offers. "It is something we are continually looking at - new venues to put out our library of games on. We're not announcing anything about that because honestly I don't know anything about it."

"The cart size of the DS makes it impossible to put out ports of any of our old graphic adventures," chimes in Gullett. "There's literally not enough room on those carts to put the games out."

"It could still happen," the producer says. "We've got a lot of pride in our heritage and it's definitely something we're still leaving open."

Norris concludes: "The decision is taken at a pay grade higher than ours. I would love to see new adventure games coming out. A lot of people will say they feel like the adventure game genre is dead. I don't think it is, I think it's changed in some ways. I think we're still making adventure games but they're a little bit different than before with survival horror games and the like."

Do it.
