Lucasarts used to have some of the best games ever until they pretty much became a Star Wars mill.
Hmmmmm, how come we never had a Star Wars adventure game?
I miss good side scrolling beat'em ups. Does nobody else just wanna walk right and beat people up from time to time?
Oh man, old school beat um ups were fantastic. Hands down my favorite, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles in Time. They need to do an beat um up game like Paul Robertson's Pirate Baby Cabana Battle. Except, y'know, longer, like with 100 levels and a buncha paths you could go off on.
I'll always remember Double Dragon as my favorite beat-em-up. Could never get past the two Abobos in the forest though.
I miss the days of shareware games.

Hahaha.... Man, it's hard to believe that the combo systems were that complex right when they started out.
Holy shit... I just had a horrible revelation... Double Dragon came out almost 20 years ago.

No More Heroes satisfied my desire to play modern beatemups. Also, Castle Crashers looks sort of beatemupy.
Welcome to my world man, most days I realize how old I am. Batman the Animated Series came out 16 years ago.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Not the Lucasarts aspect but just old PC games in general. I think part of the fond memories come from the fact that back then almost everything was new, we didn't know what to expect from the "next generation" of games. Now we essentially know where gaming is heading in terms of technology (AI, Physics, so on and so forth) so there is less to be entranced by.
